Anyone familiar with the status of the More Old Testament Pseudepigrapha Project?

https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/divinity/rt/moreoldtestamentpseudepigrapha/
This project is to produce a supplemental volume to Charlesworth. It is out of St. Andrews University but I can't discover if they are approaching a finished product. Faithlife should be watching this closely.

Good to know!
And how about this, any opinions:

It looks like it's a brief introduction (224 pages) but without the texts themselves. With Charlesworth (and I presume this new volume: I'm waiting for some sort of discount on it before buying) you get the text and some background information.

I think each volume on the PG (and by extension apocrypha, depending on the grouping), has a useful perspective.
Charles: Older, but one of the few that's commentary based and combines the PG with the apocrypha for discussion. Includes text.
Charlesworth: Updates Charles, and discussion-based; includes text. Considerable depth.
Nickelsburg: One of the best for looking at the writings by time-period and development. For example, the Sybilline Oracles are broken up by estimated writing period. Discussion; no text. In-depth.
Docherty: Groups by type of writing (genre); discussion, no text. A number of other volumes bounce around by genre; this one is a disciplined grouping, though an introduction.
Eerdmans Dictionary of Early Judaism: this and similar pick up some of the more unusual writings, plus author discussion, etc.
OT Pseudepigrapha - More: Very useful on the 'edges', especially where your search isn't having any luck. Formatted similar to Charlesworth but no overlap.
Penner/Heiser's PG Interlinear: Includes the primary greek ones; no english glosses, but very useful looking for re-used phrasing (connectivity)
Collin's 'Between Athens & Jerusalem': Fills in the more greek associated authors and writings (overlaps with some PG and apocrypha). Discussion; no text. The grouping is unusual; sort of a 'motivation'-grouped.

It's not. Each text has an introductory essay and an English translation. A lot of the texts are fairly short, or even fragmentary, hence the length.
A big problem with the Logos version (IMO) is that most of the texts don't have proper milestones (not even relatively well-known texts like "The Life of Adam and Eve").

The majority of these texts don't exist in their original languages, but have been preserved in translation.

I was replying to Veli's post about Docherty's book. Are you referring to that or Bauckham's book?

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to Bauckham/Davila.

I did buy this book
The book is from 2013, so the next question: do you think are there any links to this book from other Logos books?

Have you tried to use the Cited By tool to see whether that's the case?

Thanks for the advice! I found two references to this book in the Lexham Bible Dictionary, in the Bibliography part.
(They don't work automatically, though. I mean bibliography references don't normally open the resource, nor I have an option to open it when right-clicking the bibliography entry.)
I was expecting that there are not many links to a brand new resource. This is all right, I was just curious and wanted to test.
