In the advanced reader "Introduction to Thai Literature" (Jones and Mendiones, Cornell, 1970) it states on the copyright page: "Copyright is claimed until September 15, 1980. Thereafter all portions of this work covered by this copyright will be in the public domain." Yesterday was the 29th anniversary of that date. Most of this particular book is straight Thai text -- passages from well-known literary works, many of which are already public domain. The authors have added glossaries and explanations to the texts. This is an advanced book, granted, but it would be another excellent project, and it makes me hopeful that the other Cornell readers are also public domain. Time to do some homework... .-= rikker´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Thai101/~3/Y0zRjOUC5y4/new-life-for-fsi-thai-language-course.html" rel="nofollow">A new life for the FSI Thai language course</a> =-.

I've never coded a wiki from the ground up - I've only been annoying with wikipedia corrections and suggestions - so this is a learning curve for me. As I code in (reading as I go), I'm whispering to myself, 'I CAN'T WAIT!' FSI Thai is grand stuff. For sure. Talen, no prob.
