Dear Chris,

You are absolutely right and I should have mentioned JIATS as one of my 
inspirations. I am, of course, aware of the Tibetan and Himalayan 
Library and I actually am doing some work for them (proof-reading the 
Sanskrit titles of the entire Dege canon and doing some basic research 
about alternative titles, etc.).

In fact, I think of David Germano as an inspiring model of scholar 
working tirelessly (I mean this literally) for the benefit of the 
academic community and of Tibet in general. I do hope that people 
appreciate how much he does.

Best,

Alberto Todeschini
