Subject: The project is back online
Most of the Germanic Lexicon Project has been migrated to a new host. If you discover anything which doesn't work, please report it here.
Many thanks to Ondrej Tichy for arranging the new host.
The last 10 months have been a tale of woe for the project. The GLP lost its hosting environment when my contract faculty position ended in December 2005. I hosted the machine in my house over a consumer-grade DSL line until May 2006, working on the migration in the meantime. Then the power supply on the computer in my house died before the migration was complete. All of the data were safe, but the project wasn't yet fully functional on the new host.
Then I moved to Italy in June to start a new job. Moving overseas took a lot of time, and my new job leaves me essentially no time to work on the project. This is why much of the project has been unavailable for the last three months. I apologize for this unavailability.
Our expectation is that the new hosting environment will be stable over time, and that the project will continue to be available. There is a second place I can host the site if there is ever any problem with the current site.
