Justin Taylor pointed out this New york Times article. The Israel Antiquities Authority has undertaken a project to digitize the Dead Sea Scrolls and make them available over the internet. Between this and the recent project to make Codex Sinaiticus available on-line, the cause of manuscript studies and online collaborative tools is moving forward strongly. This merging of technology and manuscript / Biblical language study is an area near and dear to my heart. Projects like this really get me excited!
