Sanskrit anyone?

I have been contemplating to 'relearn' Sanskrit primarily to read scriptures in their original form (obviously when I have the time later in my life). I was looking for a self learning resource on the Web and found a excellent resource on the website of IIT Chennai. Acharya, a Multilingual Computing for Literacy and Education, part of the Systems Development Laboratory of IIT Chennai, has a excellent self-learning Sanskrit course, obviously free of cost. Its a excellent resource for beginners and people who want to refresh their Sanskrit. A extremely rich Indo-Aryan language, Sanskrit is one of the few languages that is non-ambiguous and apt for use in computing.
