MetaTao (located here)is a project to build a collaborative tool for meta-translations. This began when I located several translations of the Tao Te Ching on the web and wanted a way to compare the translations side-by-side. Looking ahead I foresaw wanting to annotate translations and add additional translations for individual chapters. Here are a list of my requirements for future versions:
- ability to add additional translations
- ability to annotate translations (not modify)
- wiki or thread annotations
- dedicated perl search engine for translations
- choice of chapter order (e.g. tao-te vs te-tao)
- separation of tao - te chapters in index
