Lets try to identify the big issues that needs to be fixed and see if you can help in someway to solve it. I think important issues are: * fixing search engine * importing modern books I've tried to fix some of the issues of search engine, but some of the old edits which didn't get into search engine are still missing. Please let me know if there are any issues that you think are important.
