Problem I identified a year and a half ago but still remains unattended to: "Where is 
the database"?  Everyone was working on one at one time, "posing" with lots of 
computer jargon and all appearing quite professional in the process, but I'm sorry 
to point this up. There is no database.  Correct me if I am wrong but talk doesn't 
quite cut it in the corporate environment or for that matter in real life.

Dennis, there is web page for my jmdict database project at
http://www.edrdg.org/~smg/  Although not working at the 
moment, the search and new-entry links are backed by the
database.  The code repository is online at:
http://www.edrdg.org/~smg/cgi-bin/hgweb-jmdictdb.cgi?style=gitweb

You are correct that progress has been slow (due to other
time commitments, changing the implementation language, 
some infrastructure issues on Arakawa, and, as you know, 
jmdict itself is a moving target. :-)
Anyway, a lot of the catchup/cleanup work has been done 
and I hope real progress will speed up soon, though I do have 
some other commitments coming up in August/September.
