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

Dear All,

I am pleased to share a new project designed to help fill the gap left by the discontinuation of GRETIL.

Project website: hansel-library.info
Blog post: tylerneill.info/blog-kalpataru-diaries/hansel

This is a new, open-source platform for Sanskrit e-texts, which I am building from scratch for my own enjoyment and as a service to the global Indological community. I intend to grow it slowly and steadily, and the plan is to eventually involve more members of the community in its maintenance, much like this listserv. For now, as sole creator and curator, I will be balancing it with other commitments, but I have designed the system with a fair bit of automation to support the work.

Please be in touch if you would like to contribute Sanskrit e-text materials to the site! I would also like to thank the colleagues who have already provided initial feedback, corrections, and materials.

Happy holidays and warm regards,
Tyler
