Dot, et al,
I'm in the slow process of going over the old MI materials and rewriting some of the code to be hosted on The Heroic Age site at MUN and linked off our links pages.

There's also the digitized manuscripts section of the Andy Holt Virtual Library - but like the UCLA catalogue it's aimed at digital facsimiles, not editions. As far as I know there's not an existing bibliography (I haven't looked at Edward's list).
As far as editions floating around, I know that the Medieval Institute at Western Michigan University had several small projects (many of them created when I was a student there, although ironically I had no hand in any of them), but they were taken offline when the webpage was updated (and, I assume, the servers moved) a couple of years ago. It would be nice to see them back online again. I'm sure the MI isn't the only institution that has/has had small projects like this online. I'm not sure how one might go about surveying them, though.

I'm sure this has come up before, but as part of something I'm working on, I've come across a whole trove of early (i.e. mid-1990s) on-line editions. In this case often designed as class projects and entirely non-medieval.
This makes me wonder if there is a "hidden corpus" of medieval digital editions out there--either still available on some murky corner of the web or lost due to restructuring of URLs at host institutions.
I wonder if it would be interesting to collect as big a bibliography of these as we could. If it turned out that there were hundreds, I'm sure I could whip together a web-form to allow bibliographic entry. But to start, what do people know of?
