Google Saffron - Theravada Search Engine

[retrofuturist]

I used to use this search engine... http://s.billard.free.fr/dhamma/

but now... .......... (continued next post)

[retrofuturist]

Greetings,

After seeing that the above search engine has not been updated since 2006, I've decided to start my own, modelled upon the one above, using its search entries ( http://s.billard.free.fr/dhamma/dhammas ... isting.txt ) as the starting point...

Google Saffron
http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=00545 ... cbjbznmwso

Please post here any suggestions for sites you would like me to include in Google Saffron. Please mention only sites that are exclusively, or nearly exclusively Theravadin because if they're multi-sectarian (e.g. Buddhanet) then Google Saffron will no longer achieve its intended function of filtering out non-Theravadin references.

Metta,
Retro.

Very well done Paul...first cabin...

Great photo (avatar) too...

[AlaskanDhamma]

So is that what we are calling this collection? Google Saffron?

Me thinks we need a better name. Maybe that just me though.

Greetings AlaskanDhamma,

So is that what we are calling this collection? Google Saffron?

That's what it says when you click here:
http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=00545 ... cbjbznmwso

Me thinks we need a better name. Maybe that just me though.

I'm open to renaming it... to give some context, Google Saffron is a slightly cheeky reference to Google Chrome, the Google-made web browser.

Metta,
Retro.

[AlaskanDhamma]

Hmmm...ok I'll get working on that...;P

[appicchato]

Me thinks we need a better name.

No way!...Saffron is dynamite...

[uragamuni]

Geocities.com does not exist anymore since a few days ago, so some of the sites you reference are now innaccesible. I hope someone has backups of them! Everything is impermanent, isn't it? Thanks...

[xinuflux]

Another great site to add: http://www.vipassanadhura.com/ - Mahasi Sayadaw oriented.

FWIW I like the "Saffron" name.

[Dmytro]

Hello friends,

Empty Universe is back:

http://emptyuniverse.110mb.com

Metta, Dmytro

[Dmytro]

Hi Uragamuni,

Geocities.com does not exist anymore since a few days ago, so some of the sites you reference are now innaccesible. I hope someone has backups of them! Everything is impermanent, isn't it? Thanks...

Some of them have survived at http://www.reocities.com, some at http://www.oocities.com/, some at http://web.archive.org , like:

http://web.archive.org/web/200501190434 ... index.html

I have recently updated the links of the Sadhu! directory and found some of them.

Metta, Dmytro

[saltspring]

Thanks Dmytro, I missed empty universes site, good to see its back up and running. Now we just need to get Geoff posting here at Dhamma Wheel.
