Also, now you don't need to worry about its disappearing, as this is a
permanent link, this book will always remain there. Not only this, any new
book that we make available, will also remain there forever...

Thanks once again Ashwin,
I have been considering to release the books officially, but
unfortunately, PDF conversion is not working with Gujarati. The bug is
filed a while ago, and I have been told that it may get quite a long time
to fix the issue. Without having capability of exporting the page as PDF or
preparing a book, I won't really feel to rush for the book release.
Regards,
Dhaval

Hi Dhaval,
That is really very good to hear. We must maintain the highest
standards in all things WikiSource. Unlike Wikipedia, errors cannot be
allowed to co-exist. Well done to all Gujarati Wiki-Source-ians. Keep
yup your great work.
I request that this book may be please be got "officially" released to
gain publicity and attention to Gujarati WikiSource & the community.

Thanks Ashwin,
Not only this book, but the other one that is completed and the one
underway, are all proof read against original. These are all manually
typed
and not OCR'd. Thanks to the lack of
available OCR Tool/software for
indic
scripts.
If you or anybody else here is aware of good and reliable tool for Indic,
especially Gujarati, script please share. That will help us upload book
in
remarkably less time than it has taken.
Best,
Dhaval
