Top of my list of wishes for this site

• Would it be possible to add pictures? It would be wonderfull to exchange icons, teacher-pistures and pictures of sacred places (2erik meier carlsn)

yes, great idea, there is the "Upload file" to the side left side of the screen. And for the more dedicared, join: DharmaDictionarynet-editors@googlegroups.com [Erik Pema Kunsang]

• To facilitate a wide range of already created materials -- glossaries, indices, backmatter to published books, or your M.A. papers, Ph.d. theses -- can find a home before your laptop die or your hard drive crashes. [Erik Pema Kunsang]
• i think erik's idea of making a database of texts that have been and are being translated would be great. many people have already put the list of translations they have completed or are working on on their personal pages. is there an easy way to transfer that information onto the page of 'translations' so that the information is available in that format (organized, i suppose, in terms of text title rather than translator name...or could it be searchable in different ways?), and not just on the pages of each individual translator?

• a database so we can all see transparently who has translated and is translating what texts Erik Pema Kunsang
• i think it would be great if we could upload the entire books like the dzod dun etc. in tibetan and in english instead of just having the cover pages... and it would also be great if we could have tibetan fonts for the dictionary. I have searched over the web for the actual texts, and you just can't find it. i know the english version is a lot of work and energy, but for the tibetan, you don't have to pay anyone, so i think it'll be good to have a place where you know you'll find what you're searching for.[Rapsel]
• Develop a "make" utility that will run on the server and that will: (1) scan the LocalSettings.php file to find all extensions in use on the site, (2) find pages that use each extension and that have an older date than the date of the extension, and (3) cause the pages to be subject to re-caching by MediaWiki (e.g., by "touchng" the page, appending a blank, etc.). This utility could be run as needed and/or on a scheduled basis. [Preston]
