Subject: Question
Sean,
My time available to dabble in old norse as a hobby continues to ebb and flow, but this past year I have had time to get a lot of reading done. However, I've found that I do most of my reading on my phone or tablet where it's too awkward to use a web-browser based dictionary (and google translate doesn't like standardized old norse...) Anyhow, most e-readers these days are able to connect to external dictionaries and I have considered attempting the non-gtrivial project of creating an old norse dictionary (probably a combination of hunspell morphology and .dsl definition files for use with GoldenDict). Anyhow, I have two questions for you:
1) I wanted to make sure I had permission to adapt your work into a dictionary of this sort.
2) Is the complete text download still being updated? I noticed that a number of pages are still considered as works in progress. If/when those get updated I wanted to make sure this would be reflected in the complete text download for the future.
Anyhow, I will be working on this as a hobby project and I have to a lot to figure out before I can really do anything, but I'm hoping that building on your work will make this possible.
Thanks,
-Scott
