Last update: EvoTerm referred me to Iris Hensel (Oxtoby's wife?), but she's not replying to emails.
The only option now is Unilex, which offers both online access and a download version.

I guess it will still be useful for existing terminology, up to a point where too much new terminology has developed that is not added to the GWIT.
I think I'll also buy the download version. And maybe there are other dictionaries in the Unilex catalogue that are useful to me. ▲ Collapse

Hi Matthijs,
I'm one of those people that would be interested in continuing the management of the dictionary. I've been in contact with Hans from Acolada, and he has been in contact with Graham's wife, but I haven't heard back from him for a wile, and have a feeling things got stuck somewhere.
I really hope they manage to sort something out because it would be a real shame if the entire database would merely remain in limbo forever, as it is now. In any event, I too got myself the download version, which I am happily using the time being.

I just sent another email to Hans, asking him if any progress has been made, and for Graham's wife's contact details. Will report back here if I hear anything.
Michael
