[INDOLOGY] announcing HANSEL

[Sebastian Nehrdich]

Dear Tyler, dear all,

WIth a lot of gratitude for you to take this step and move a successor
forward! I hope there will be plenty of contributions, and I'll certainly
try to get some of the data we collected to you as well! Do you have min.
quality standards, i.e. since OCR technology has come a long way in recent
years, OCRs of IAST and clearly printed devanagari works are nowadays
almost ready to use for rough referencing (with some caveats of course).
With many thanks,

Sebastian
