Guest guest Report post Posted April 4, 2001 Jai Gurudev, Dear Gurubhais, The postings are increasing at a very fast pace. It is really good and I appreciate this. I would like to put some short suggestions reg. new web site 1. instead of sadhnakishakti we may go for "SadhnaShakti" name 2. Reg. search, it should provide for word searching also, like i was searching for Tratak but could not find. 3. pdf format is ofcourse best solution 4. a new section can be included for the recent sadhna camps showing photographs of sadhna camp and for the starting, i think its good to start with small but complete instead of going for whole site showing "under construction", i mean we should improve gradually in a solid manner Reg. space there is a site name www.myspace.com, they give 300 MB space to store, i think we can use that. Rest continue. Jai Gurudev Charanjit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 4, 2001 Jai Gurudev >2. Reg. search, it should provide for word searching also, like i was >searching for Tratak but could not find. Two issues on this - a. I don't know how it is technically feasible. Almost all of our terms are actually Hindi/Sanskrit words and they will always have multiple english spellings (eg. tratak or traatak or trataak or Trraatak). It might not be possible to group together various variants. Any comments ! b. The Current search engine searches for individual words and retrieves pages containing those words. However, it becomes messy if the "concerned word" is present in global header (which is on top of every page). eg. if word is "Kali" it gives correct pages containing details/reference to "Kali". However, if word is "Gurudev", then it gives all the pages, as all the pages have "about Gurudev" in the header section. Any technical solution to this issue?? Frames might become a bit messy, but will solve this issue. There are many, many web developers on this forum. Any solution? While you are about it (i.e. thinking about all this), can people do a search in their favorite web search engine/directory/portal (altavista,google etc.) for words like Mantra Tantra Yantra Siddhashram etc. and tell if their search engine doesn't list our website www.siddhashram.org We can produce a list of such sites and then, we can ask Gurudham to list on those search engines/directories/portal etc. Jai Gurudev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't yet started working on the search engine, but would remember your comment. > 3. pdf format is ofcourse best solution Pdf is not allowed at Brinkster. Also, to create a pdf file, we need Adobe Acrobat, which is a commercial product and has a cost. > 4. a new section can be included for the recent sadhna camps > showing photographs of sadhna camp Good idea! This is a vital part. Why don't you take charge of the photo section. > Reg. space there is a site name www.myspace.com, they give 300 MB > space to store, i think we can use that. Myspace.com is an online file storage service, not a web hosting service. We can't host our site there. I chose Brinkster because it supports all the technologies I need for this project. Keep it up... Ashish Marathe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 4, 2001 Jai Gurudev. Alright. Let everyone post message on this discussion list. On a rotation basis, members from the core group will scan the list, and upload the website. I think that we sud stick with 30 MB for the time being. We have only 59 members in the list currently, and there are only 3-4 active members. The mandate of this NEW site is to have personal articles from Sadhaks (Not a reprint of the "official" articles from mag/books). 30 MB sud suffice for this type of content and activity. If u are writing a new search engine, then it will be worthwhile to design/develop it keeping the www.siddhashram.org in mind. Currently www.siddhashram.org is using picosearch as search engine, and we can, probably, putin your search engine later in www.siddhashram.org as it will be a tailor made-customised-betterfeatures solution Apart from other stuff, the search engine sud be able to filter out noise words, have a updateable word groupings, and sud be able to produce stats of words scanned etc. sud be fast and able to handle thousands of pages. might be able to search in a category of pages (eg. only sadhana related pages). plus of course any more goodies that u can think of! , nikhilashish wrote: > JAI GURUDEV > Hello Charanjit, > > > 2.

Regarding this i would like to put up that since i m very new to Siddhashram Parivar i have yet not got any chance to participate in any camp. If in near future i got a chance, i will certainly come up. If any scanning part is to be looked after, I will be happy to do that.
