Update on desktop Content Mgt Sytem for beginners

Dear Friends,

The following had been done:

1. Dictionary: The newer bigger Pali - English Dict by Buddhadatta located at ww.geocities.com/paligroup had been included. Completely converted to Velthuis Scheme, re-sorted alphabetically, permitting easier search by using web browser's "Edit -> Find (on this Page)" function, without using special key board. (All pages are displayed by web browsers.)

2. Charles Duroiselle's Pali Grammar was downloaded from www.tipitaka.net/pali, and converted to Velthuis. To minimize transmission error,
extensive tabulation with provision for easier reading is employed by using the pdf file located at
www.buddhanet.net/pdf_file/paligram.pdf as cross reference. However, the web pages grow enormously in size. For example, Chapter 10 is over 400 MB. The solution then is to split them into two, re-write and re-package the code. Now the first half of Chapter 10, originally over 200MB, is less tan 110 MB. There is no loss in quality. The end product is not only smaller in size but also more efficient as the demand for computer resources is smaller.

3. Dhammapada seems to be very popular among the group, based on threads from the [dsg]. There is still quite a bit of real estate vacancy on the common navigation page. It may be incoporated in this version if the materials are available (with permission from owners/authors). Connie seems to like it very much and have access to a very large collection of translated materials http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dhammastudygroup/message/52941).

Please provide feedback. The old copy built for personal usage is temporarily housed at a free site: http://free.hostdepartment.com/l/learnpali/index.htm for better feedback. It will be removed when a more user friendly one is completed,
hopefully in another 2 weeks or so. Then it will be dedicated and offered to the Pali study group as a thankyou for their anonymous generosity and assistance in learning Pali.

Thankyou.

Metta,

Harry
