Future Projects.

I am always looking for additional documents to make this set of sanskrit
texts more complete.

Things that would be welcome:

1) upanishads: kathopanishhad, kenopanishhad, taittariiya, ...
2) subhaashitaas: we have lots of subhaashitaas in handwritten form, we
   need volunteers to transcribe them to ITRANS encoded text files, if
   you would like to volunteer, please send e-mail to Avinash Chopde,
   avinash@acm.org
3) charpaTapaJNjarikaa
4) bhaja govi.ndaM
5) kaalidaasaa's shaaku.ntala and other works
6) chaaNakya niiti, chhaaNakya suutre
7) or any sanskrit document that you find interesting.

If you do plan on working on such a document, send me e-mail so that I
can keep track of all work-in-progress and thus avoid any duplicate
efforts.
