Barbara Aland, Klaus Wachtel, and Luc Herren (Institut für neutestamentliche
Textforschung, Münster) are introducing an electronic version of NA 28 at
the ISBL in Berlin in July; here's the "blurb" from the ISBL program:

The Digital Nestle-Aland

Abstract

The Münster Institut für neutestamentliche Textforschung, Peter Robinson's
Scholarly Digital Editions (Leicester, UK), and the Deutsche
Bibelgesellschaft, Stuttgart, cooperate in preparing the 28th edition of the
Novum Testamentum Graece, known as Nestle-Aland, in digital form. Luc Herren
and Klaus Wachtel will present the First Letter of John as a pilot project
of the new edition.

The edition will have four main parts:
1. The NA28 text,
2. The NA28 apparatus,
3. Full transcriptions of the consistently cited witnesses,
4. A new apparatus based on the transcriptions.

The Nestle-Aland apparatus will be accessible from the text by mouse click.
Clicking on a word in the Nestle-Aland text will open the new apparatus, if
there are entries referring to that word. Another kind of link will connect
the Nestle-Aland apparatus to the transcriptions. The full context of a
variant in a manuscript will be accessible by mouse click on the sign of
that manuscript in the Nestle-Aland apparatus. The New Apparatus will
comprise every variant found in the manuscripts transcribed. Interactive
tools will provide user-friendly access to the material. Users will have the
option to choose for themselves the witnesses that are displayed in the
apparatus.
