Yes! That site was just recently announced; I bookmarked it but it slipped my mind.....Clearly the most up to date listing. He mentions Gonda here and there, and IIRC he (or his source, de Casparis) questions a few of Gonda's attributions, and _maybe_ finds a few new ones. I haven't gone through the whole list yet, but need to, as I know of one or two loanwords in "minor" Indo. languages that aren't found in modern Ml. or Javanese (at least not in the dictionaries)...
