[INDOLOGY] NGMCP

[Kengo Harimoto]

Dear Dominik and members of the list,

Some time ago, I was contacted by someone at the Berlin StaBi in charge of integrating NGMCP data to their https://www.qalamos.net/ project. Perhaps that is why the UHH link went off-line?

Hopefully, it will come online soon.

In the meantime, I have SQL dumps of the NGMCP title list and the catalogue wiki. I created them when the project ended as backups. I am ready to send them if anyone is interested. Since I am not sure to whom the data legally belong, please contact me privately.
