Preparation for a 2006 2007 CD-ROM edition of Access to Insight is underway. I'm aiming for a release date in late 2006 2007. These are just notes to myself.
General site preparation
- Should SuttaReadings.net be a separate CD?
Site prep
- Install
CD_ADD
andCD_CUT
tags where needed - Search form on each page must be consistent ("search online" or "search"?)
- Make clear that the Firefox search plugin is for online searches only
Final prep checklist
- Filter all files containing
CD_ADD
andCD_CUT
tags Two launch options: with and without Vicaya- Make downloadable ISO image of CD
Note
Originally I had hoped to include a search engine with the CD. Responding to my interest in a platform-independent CD-based search engine, Alex Genaud spearheaded a SourceForge project to develop Vicaya, a Java-based app that would meet these requirements. Vicaya appears to work very well. But I'm a little reluctant to include on the CD software that I don't fully understand (I don't know Java); for one thing, I'm concerned that I'd end up fielding lots of tech support queries about the search engine. So this edition will probably not include Vicaya. Maybe a later edition will.
