Question
I am... very taken by the Sanskrit scholarship and the new approach to the Rigveda. Is there a translation by Karen Thomson and Jonathan Slocum of the Rigveda in the works, or available somewhere either in print or online?

Answer
Alas, no: translating the full Rigveda would be a massive undertaking. While I personally can imagine developing software that might assist in such an effort, we have no funding for such a project and do not expect any to materialize.
