Dear Nina,

I think the last recent translation you sent in should be okay for me to
work on just as it is without you having to correct it now. After I post my
response to it, you could then make any changes you want and post back a
newer translation for further comments and corrections if desired. We could
just try to go back to the way we were doing it before. And whenever you
send in a translation I think it would be better if you put your questions
and remarks right in with it instead of sending them in a separate message.

When psg first got started I had the idea that we try alternating between
working on a short suttanta text and a short abhidhamma text. So I'm
thinking that after we're finished with AN I.49 with its com. and subcom. we
should move on to an abhidhamma text to work on for awhile before continuing
on with AN I.50. I think it would be better to work on the abhidhamma text
here on psg instead of the Abhidhamma list as I had previously suggested
because of the focus on the Pali. Since many of us here are interested in
what the commentaries have to say, I think the approach of working on a text
from the Tipitaka in conjunction with its com. and subcom. (and sub-subcom.)
is the way to go.

Best wishes,
Jim
