Dear Bryan,

 

For ease of access, use and discussion, visual mapping would be useful.

Issues of interpretation, ideas, arguments pro and con, can be arranged in multiple visual maps, with cross-links between them.

 

For example, it would be possible to map conveniently our recent discussions of the terms 'Buddha', 'suttanta', etc., with easy overview. Furthermore, collaborative work would be possible, if maps are 'unlocked'.

Software which allows for many maps with cross-references, and options of collaboration: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/designengineering/tools/designvue

 

Best wishes,

                     Dmytro

Dear Friends,

For some time I've been working on a personal,  informal database of difficult Pali words and phrases (not in current dictionaries, hard to find, obscure, etc) and I'd like to put it in a form which is accessible through the web for others, and also in a form which would have a more sophisticated cross-reference system, more fields, etc. Would anyone know what software would be appropriate for this task, that is also usable by a novice (to database technology) ike myself?

Thanks for your help,

Bryan
