recently there has been mention of the daodejing in the site.
i thought i'd just take a minute to share a link to, well, the best, most accurately tranlated version i've personally found online so far. the translator, Sanderson Beck, obviously has a very good understanding of classical chinese, as well as the semantic meanings and nuances involved. the james legge version, as found in the foundations/chinese thought section of the site, doesn't do the actual text justice. a lot of james legge's translation, in fact, is based off other interpretations of the text, not the actual text itself..
hope you enjoy it....
