When will we get the interpretation of the scrolls? I am no Hebrew scholar. Photos of the scrolls, no matter what quality, would not help me.
It's my recollection that there was an announcement that when the scrolls were found and the research into their contents was organized, the scrolls were divvied up among scholars who were expected to publish their findings. The trouble turned out to be that the work of putting together all the bits and fragments and interpreting the scrolls turned out to be an order of magnitude more of a project than originally assumed - so instead of getting the results after a few years we have scholars spending their professional lifetimes and still not being ready to publish.

Thanks for this info. I was in San Diego last December and got to see a small portion of the scrolls that were on display at the San Diego Natural History Museum.
