1. I note the following from N. Ray's history:
"One [Bhante] Saddhammaguru wrote ... the Vaacakopadesa, which 'treats the
grammatical categories from a logical point of view.'"
This sounds like an interesting resource --especially for those of us who
have wrestled with inconsistencies in Pali grammatical terminology.
2. An interesting (and brief) article about Buddhist education in Burma &
Thailand, highlighting the decline of Pali studies in both places --NB:
almost all of the useful information is to be found in the foot-notes, as
the main text is reproduced from a lecture.

A saying of the Buddha from http://metta.lk/

Should a person commit evil, he should not do it again and again; he should
not find pleasure therein: painful is the accumulation of evil.
