There's been some talk about creating digital versions of HolQeD, but AFAIK
there are certain barriers that are hard to cross. One of the big ones is
that the original files for the older HolQeDmey are either unavailable or
in a format that can no longer be read by modern programs. There are a
couple of the final issues of HolQeD on the KLI website for Members to
download.

As for bringing it back from the dead, the main issue there is content.
Most of the articles that could be written have been written, so it would
be hard to continuously find new content.

These would probably have to be made by Paramount/CBS/Okrand, but there's
little profit to be gained in them so it's unlikely. The KLI's website has
the first part of a course on it that will teach you the language. Have you
tried that yet?
