Here I have requested and will be pursuing generation of .babylon files from current (updated) version of Cologne dictionaries (36 in total). Jim Funderburk is the webmaster of that site. He has received the proposal very warmly. Once we have some script to generate .babylon files from all 36 dictionaries we will have most updated versions of dictionaries as and when needed.
I will post progress here.
The current MW, vAcaspatyam etc dicts are downloaded from Cologne some time or other. It would be great to keep our dictionaries here in sync with corrections happenning on Cologne servers.

@damooo has made the best babylon adaptations of Cologne files. See for example the veda index output with footnotes, page links, cross references and all:
@damooo, please try to teach @drdhaval2785 your techniques and help him if you can.
@drdhaval2785 saab, i am not professional programmer. hense dont know anything other than bash, c, html. i can do only mathematics there. hense i will soon put all logics, techniques, ways,precautions in a tutorial, along with bash commands i used. you can implement them with what ever hiegher language you know easily.
CSS in stardict results often in bloat - I'd like to do away with them to the maximum extant possible (ie entirely in most cases) - so don't bother unless you want to do the same..
and what about fonts? Is Siddhanta supported or only default Mangal, @vvasuki ?
This important issue has lived its life. Now whatever was there to integrate is integrated. As and when bugs or enhancements come, we can start new issue and track.

That is a wonderful idea! I am glad that it is being seriously considered.

@damoo I am more than willing to learn how to make such good babylon adaptations.

I can play with the CSS and what about fonts? Is Siddhanta supported or only default Mangal, @vvasuki ?
