Old in the New

Whither the biblical texts of Qumran?

The "sectarian" texts of the Dead Sea Scrolls are available in many print formats as well as in a few electronic formats (including BibleWorks, Logos, Accordance and Brill's own interface).

As far as I know the biblical texts are not available electronically, and the only print versions are published in the expensive Discoveries in the Judaean Desert series, published by Oxford. (Though there is the "ecclectic" English translation of the Old Testament as found at Qumran in The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible.)

Does anyone out there in blogdom know of any electronic versions of the biblical texts? Has anyone out there even heard the faintest whisper of a rumor that these texts will one day be available electronically?
