I've maintained lists of links on other subjects before, so I learned first-hand what a never-ending time-sink it is. With the Germanic Lexicon Project, I made the decision to put my limited time into being a primary provider of data, rather than an organizer of links to other data. There are lots of sites out there with lists of links. However, if someone wants to volunteer to be the external links master for the Germanic Lexicon Project, I'd be all for it.

With that said, I've been in close contact with the Northvegr folks for a good while now, and there's been a bunch of exchange back and forth. They've done a lot of great hard work and appear to be solidly committed to maintaining their project over the long term. Since the Zoega project is in a pretty mature state at this point, I'm planning on incorporating the text they produced into the Search system here. Of course I'll give credit by linking to the Northvegr project that produced the online text.
