BASAS - INDOLOGY WEBSITE

[Dominik Wujastyk]

I would like to thank everyone who wrote to me about their use and 
valuation of the INDOLOGY website.  These comments are extremely valuable, 
and I've put them all together and sent them off to the BASAS committee.

I'll let you know what happens.

Best,
Dominik
