I've found variations in stroke ordering in different sources.

I don't have a strong preference.  However, in the interest of 
consistency, I've been trying to follow the stroke order shown on
the Animated Chinese Characters site at http://www.ocrat.com.

We should come up with a policy so contributors know which stroke order 
to use for the project.

This is excellent, pure genius.  Thank you!

Harald, you've added some characters in CVS that I don't see in the
Dragon Directory.

I rely pretty heavily on Dragon Directory to figure out which 
characters I need to add and which are already available, so it would
be nice to keep it up-to-date.  Sorry to be a nag about this :]

If any of you coders has a bit of spare time, It shouldn't be too
difficult to write a script to sync up the Dragon Directory with the 
characters that are in CVS. 
While I'm requesting features, I'd love a way to enter a batch of
characters into Dragon Directory, rather than having to click through
several pages for each character.


Thanks,

David
