There is strong interest in an etymological dictionary of Arabic, as 
evidenced to the response to Rajaa Aquil's appeal; see his message below. 
It is unlikely, however, that any one or any group will start work on one 
to produce one in the foreseeable future.

I would like to propose that we at least assemble all the known works that 
have been published, I have some that haven't been mentioned yet.  If you 
agree, would it be possible for Arabic-L to set up a kind of mailbox that 
individuals could send in bibliographic references to that would then be 
available to anyone interested?

Thanks again for all you do for Arabic studies and for Arabists, and please 
have a year full of joy, excellent health and only good news.

best,

Ernest

I can compile whatever people send in into a single list, and post it (it would thereafter be available through the archives).  If it became more extensive we could conceivably turn it into a mysql database that people could access through the web, but let's cross that bridge when we come to it; that would probably be overkill at this stage.
