• Data reused for other purposes (Lancaster catalog)
• Federated searches
• A new critical edition of the complete canon
• Link to translations

• Handling of user content, ownership
• OpenID
• Chat group
• Numbering system for Sanskrit texts, rubbings etc.
• Members for an initial workgroup: David Germano, Aming Tu, Min Shakya, Yun H. Oh, M. Bingenheimer, C.S. Yap, K Nagasaki, C. Wittern

It was decided at the meeting that Christian Wittern should take the lead in a working group and take the necessary steps to move the work along.
