Further to the last post, according to the DCA:

our replacement [editorial] system went live … last week and we are busy converting in excess of 27,000 documents to XML format. We are also working with a supplier [TSO] to develop the enquiry service database that we expect to be able to pilot, within the Government Secure Intranet domain, sometime in late December or early January. If the pilot scheme reaches a successful conclusion then, it is planned to provide access to the general public by late Spring of next year.
