Buddhists : How do you like this New Year Present?
Presenting the biggest source of Tipitaka (in English) on world wide web at Wikipitaka :
http://tipitaka.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
It has now 2351 pages of suttas i.e. more than 1000 suttas have been added before 31 Dec 2014 .
The unique thing about the Wikipitaka is that , besides mirroring Accesstoinsight :
(1) It has Dhammapada in complete detail (423 nos.) with all the actual events/stories (sourced with thanks from Nibbana.com) which helps to understand it very well given the circumstances.
http://tipitaka.wikia.com/wiki/Dhammapada
(2) The complete Jataka Tales (547 nos.) in plain English (the version in archaic English was taken from sacred texts site) . This was added on the Buddha's birthday this year.
http://tipitaka.wikia.com/wiki/Jataka
This kind of Jataka is not available anywhere else.
Also the wikipitaka was populated with from all suttas (taken thankfully) from Accesstoinsight site for the sections i.e. Samyutta Nikaya, Anguttara Nikaya, Theragatha, Therigatha, Vimanavatthu & Petavatthu .
Besides some suttas were also correctly interpreted as in the case of :

http://tipitaka.wikia.com/wiki/SN_36.19_Pancakanga...
http://tipitaka.wikia.com/wiki/SN_47.41_Amata_Sutt...
Also the MS-Word files of Jataka and Dhammapada are available , these can be provided free to anyone who requires these, if email address is provided.
May all benefit from it.
May All Beings Be Happy.

I haven't yet looked at Wikipitaka, but that is indeed a magnificent gift given in the spirit of true Buddhism, that of generosity and kindness without looking for reward. And thank you for your gift of pointing it out. Metta to you my friend.
