I can't see the point about doing all these unrelated
things about pali studies.You guys go as far as
mahayana sutta.There are countless pali texts left
undone .
I am not sure Ven.Sujato is the one from malaysia or
what but doing a job like editing or translating
vinaya text like vinayasangaha,kudda/mula sikkha or
translating small attakatha/tika are more helpful to
people even though the books have mistakes.
