CDSL 2015 Year in Review

2015 was a year of early infrastructure development on GitHub, with initial commits to the COLOGNE repository adding documentation and the first enhancements to the web display.

Early web application improvements​

The COLOGNE repository received its first substantive commits in 2015, adding an "enhancement" subdirectory and new documentation for the web display layer. A Bühlerian sandhi table was added — an early indication of the project's interest in making grammatical reference material available alongside the dictionaries themselves.

Dictionary repositories taking shape​

Several individual dictionary research repositories were created or seeded during this period, providing a structure for tracking dictionary-specific issues and improvements. The groundwork was being laid for the systematic correction workflow that would mature in later years.

Ongoing work at Cologne​

The majority of the data work in 2015 continued to be conducted at the University of Cologne. The digitization effort, which had begun well before the GitHub era, was actively maintained by the core team. Detailed activity from this period exists in internal project records but is not fully captured in the public commit history.
