Dear all,
I would appreciate feedback about creating a Pali Tipitaka and Pali
Literature Wikipedia like webspace. The aim would be to finish off
proofreading the largely unproofread digital Buddhajayanthi (now
available on the Metta Lanka and Journal of Buddhist Ethics website) and
creating a new completely free and uninstitutionalised Pali Tipitaka and
Pali Literature Wiki-space out of it by incorporating all the readings
from all available editions of Pali works and manuscripts. Other
digitalised Pali works, translations, etc, could also be incorporated.
It will need to be a moderated Wikipedia though. Ven. Mettavihari, who
is the organiser of the Buddhajayanthi digital Tipitaka edition, is
willing to provide the digital Buddhajayanthi and a separate webspace
for this purpose on the condition that it will be a moderated Wikepedia.
Qualified scholars will need to oversee the input of readings and texts
and see to it that the texts will not be meddled with in the wrong way
as apparently happens in some Wikipedias.
If you have any ideas or suggestions then please let me know.
Yours,
Bhikkhu Nyanatusita
