Good idea to at least get you guys with these special skills involved and
talking to each other!

You might try for a start, the source-forge project "Vicaya" for a UNICODE
compliant site/desktop/CD search tool.

This project has gone dormant, but needs to be kept alive. A stop-gap
measure has been adopted (using docsearcher) for the upcoming ATI CD; but
the real goal is going to need UNICODE compliance. Might as well use the
forum as a meeting place.


Take Care;

Subject: [Pali] Pali programming projects?




There seems to be quite a level of technical expertise about,
how about starting some sort of group whereby we can club together
to produce some useful pali tools? A lot of the existing stuff
seems to be out of date.

Some potential projects:
- dictionary frontends
- encoding-conversion tools (including to/from various non-roman
scripts)
- language drill-generators, including those to familiarise
people with pali written in various scripts
- a new, electronic pali course with supporting audio snippets

I would gladly contribute towards the above, should others also
find an interest. I can write perl and php.
