The first newsletter of 2007 brings about a number of changes in the newsletter format. Aside a slight layout change, the content structure will change – beginning with today's edition, which comes out a bit longer than usual. Newsletters will also be coming in a bit more frequently. Newsletter revisions:

• Quote of the Week. An inspirational passage from the writings of the Vaisnava mahajanas, a poem or a verse of wisdom.
• Project Digest. News syndicated from Madhavananda's project index, the detailed portal of most things ongoing at Gaudiya Kutir, and more.
• Gaudiya Kutir Wiki. As the editors haven't found the time to work towards producing complete articles, and yet much content of interest has been added, a new section for "Budding pages" has been added.
• Lake of Flowers Productions. New content hasn't been coming out for some time now, for the staff at Radha-kunda is currently a bit ill-equipped as far as technology is concerned. As such, the column is temporary on hold.

The wiki has been growing every so often, but most of the audience are likely not aware of it at all, unless they've been watching the Work-in-progress or Recent changes sections. To change this, we are introducing a new column called "Budding pages" next to "Featured pages" on the front page of the wiki. You are very welcome to hop in and edit and expand them. New budding pages will also be featured in the periodical Gaudiya Kutir Newsletter – subscribe if you haven't already.

A discussion at the Vilasa Kunja forums fanned a spark of an idea I have had for a good while – deepening relationships between devotees through arranging for regular communications via a media carrying more "personal essence" than written text. This is something I would like to see becoming a reality in the not so distant future.

The More page has been populated with initial content: Two series of classes and some transcripts, links to some essays online. If you have suggestions on what more should be included, please send feedback.

I'll be doing some work on Haridas Dasji's Gaudiya Vaisnava Jivana (vol. 2) for the upcoming months on the request of and with financial support from Jagadish Dasji. I have partial drafts of translations in manuscript form at my disposal that should prove to be helpful as the work proceeds, cutting down on the need to consult dictionary and aiding in the work's integrity.

The project index, a work in progress since a while, is finally up and running. If it took me a week to figure out what I'm doing, one wonders how long it takes to do what I'm supposed to be doing...

I'm sure I've missed something, especially in the way of assistance tasks. Please contact and let me know of any omissions you spot.

The next revision, v1.20, of XHK is now released based on the notes and the feedback made at a development discussion at Bhasa.Net resource. There is still some ground to cover for future revisions, tidying up some loose ends with more exotic glyphs. I have also included Devanagari glyphs in the XHK character map.

With this, the change history of the XHK standard has also been included in the project development page with access to older revisions in PDF format.

The "Submit Correction" form wasn't working. Whatever and whenever broke it, I have no idea. I hope we didn't loose too many feedback messages.
