The new OED online interface is up and running (sort of). My first impression is that I like it, a lot. But I’m having problems with speed (it’s crawling) and there are pages that refuse to load. I presume that this is due to unusually high traffic or other technical glitches that will be swiftly fixed. A more detailed review will be forthcoming.
The old interface will be available into 2011 to help ease the transition.
