What is CEDICT?
The objective of the CEDICT project is to create an online, downloadable (as opposed to searchable-only) public-domain Chinese-English dictionary. For the most part, the project is modelled on Jim Breen's highly successful EDICT (Japanese-English dictionary) project and is intended to be a collaborative effort, with users providing entries and corrections to the main file. For specific limitations regarding its use, please see the CEDICT licence included in the CEDICT download.
CEDICT was started by Paul Andrew Denisowski in october 1997. Sometime in 2000 the web page of Paul Andrew Denisowski disappeared from the web and his e-mail addresses stopped working. However, the work of Paul was continued by the community and CEDICT is still improving.
If anybody knows what happened to Paul Andrew Denisowski or how he can be contacted, please contact me.
