Wonder if anyone has managed to download the whole site.

I was told that originally the plan as to have WT distributed in CDs
(like CSCD) but somehow the people in charge (read 'in power')
changed their mind about it. Since it's a university project for a
Buddhist cause in a Buddhist country, I suppose it must be publicly
funded. So, it seems Improper to withhold it from the public.

DPR is based on CS. The developer may have made some corrections to it.

Isn't that's already done? It's called the World Tipitaka.
