There is a lot of interesting detail in the tutorial, and i'd be tempted not to change it too much. Although, there is an need for a simple step-by-step guide with recommendations that would be suitable for the novice. I was intending to spend some time in December trying to put something together. I was thinking of using a core document, and creating additional sections/chapters that look at design issues relating to CJK and ARabic script languages, minority and endangered langauges, etc. Just a loose idea at the moment. -- Andrew Cunningham e-Diversity and Content Infrastructure Solutions Public Libraries Unit, Vicnet State Library of Victoria 328 Swanston Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia andrewc+AEA-vicnet.net.au Ph. 3-8664-7430 Fax: 3-9639-2175 http://www.openroad.net.au/ http://www.libraries.vic.gov.au/ http://www.vicnet.net.au/
