OK, here's a crazy idea (but would be the best thing ever):

What would it take to get permissions / technology for Jastrow integration, so that when you moused over a word it would give you the definition?  (Jastrow for Shas... BDB for Tanakh ... etc.)

(To see what implementation of this can look like, take a look at the Yiddish Forward, which has dictionary integration with the Beinfeld / Bochner Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary -- double click on any word in this article and you get a definition.)

Curious!

Hi!

Thanks for the keen interest and for the link!
We are actually already working on such a feature for dictionaries!

I noticed that Jastrow exists in the github project.


Is it possible to access it from the website or app?

Development is underway!  A few weeks, if all goes well...

Does that mean jastro will be available online?

The truth is that we've been trying to keep a lid on it.  
But yeah - it's going to be good. :)

What's your thinking around keeping this a bit "secret?"

Would be highly interested in this feature and perhaps contributing - what's the latest word on exactly how it will function and when we might expect an initial release?

We're actively work on it. 
It's reasonable to expect an initial release in the next few weeks.

That's really awesome.

Does the work you are doing include a full digitization of the entire Jastrow text or just the headings?

My understanding is that it is the entire text (although I am not affiliated with the organization)

Any updated timeline on Jastrow integration? I know a lot of people are excited about this feature. Are there any blockers being encountered behind the scenes?
