Re: bhikkhuve

Thanks Khristos, Chris,

Yes, it seems there are more errors than I though at first... I remember
when it first came out there was quite a bit of boasting about how much
verification went into the project; given the magnitude, it is hard to
complain, I guess.

Probably the best thing, as always, is to compare versions.  To that
end, I'm hoping to incorporate the Thai tipitaka into the DPR as an
alternative to the VRI one.  But I need help getting the sections to
match up (Thai tipitaka goes by page reference only).  I've created an
app that facilitates this insertion, if anyone would like to help?
There are 45 volumes, so 45 files have to be edited for the canon, then
another 45 (I think?) for the commentaries.  Please let me know.

I've emailed help@... about one of the errors I found; no reply
yet.

I'll send the rest in, just in case they look at it.  I imagine they get
a ton of spam, though, putting their address on the website like that.

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo

The digital versions are incredibly useful, but it seems they need to be used with caution. Venerable Yuttadhammo, if you are in contact with VRI, could you please tell them of this error?
