Dear Yong Peng, Connie and friends,
Yong Peng, thanks for your very helpful feedback.
This 'software' is a collections of linked throw-away web pages organized in different folders for ease of maintenance. Apart from linked html files and textfiles, there is nothing else (no .exe, asp, php, and so on). No installation is needed. Apart from a basic PC or laptop with a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, no other supporting software is needed. It is a very simple standalone, with one common interface for all files, does not run outside a web browser, and does not require internet access. The whole program contains study materials downloaded from Tipitaka.net and www.geocities.com/paligroup/ organized in the form of a small but fully functional local desktop 'website' with html and text files only. A localhost or web server is not needed.
The initial intention is a throw-away personal organizer for a specific purpose - learning Pali. However, on second thought it might be useful for other beginners as well. Therefore the present intention is for the group to take full ownership of the whole project if materialized, and all versions, including future versions for an intermediate and an advance level Pali study, depending on the needs of the members. Hopefully a senior member nominated by the group will examine it, take charge of it if it is of any use, and provide a legitimate platform for further development - my role is strictly a voluntary technician. As owner, the group has full right to do whatever it wants with it.
To reiterate, the present prototype was developed for my own use as a beginner in Pali study for ease of navigation and access to the various downloaded study materials for learning Pali as permitted by compassionate owners and authors of those study materials. I have no intention to develop it further other than a thrownaway temporary study tool unless the group thinks otherwise. (Planned version for intermediate level is meant for personal usage in learning Pali. As for advance version, ........not sure.... :-) .)
Thank you for your kindness and your effort.
Metta,
Harry

Dear Harry, Connie and friends,
please take note, Harry,
1. this is not an endorsement of your proposed Pali Content Mgt
System (or software). It is only my opinion that it is a good idea.
I have no idea what you are doing, is it going to be a software that
runs outside the standard browser?
2. the general rule in terms of materials you can incorporate in your
proposed software:
(a) Tipitaka.net -- unless otherwise specified, you are free to use
the materials on the site, on the condition that you do not charge a
cost to others. Please check individual page for details.
(b) www.geocities.com/paligroup/ -- unless otherwise specified, you
can only use the materials as they are originally designed. Some of
the materials are made available for the purpose of study only. You
have to obtain permission from respective COPYRIGHT OWNERS before you
include them in your proposed software.
metta,
Yong Peng.

Connie, Yong Peng has just given me the green light. Please let me

doesn't know. Besides this writer is very poor in design. Whatever
you are not happy with, stability or navigation or.. anything,
please yell. It will be re-done until the end users or you are
happy. Then it may become a useful software.
Yong Peng, thanks for your kindness. Does the green light include
study materials from www.geocities.com/paligroup/ ? There is a plan
for a separate intermediate and an advance level versions as time
progresses. I hope to develop it further under the group's
supervison and guidance. But I won't and don't want to be the
project manager. Any senior member nominated by the group will do.
S/he doesn't have to be a techie. Please .....
