I've been using this dictionary for a while now and wondering... wtf!?

Is this really the best we have for resources right now? Are there any plans  out there to compile a more updated Twi dictionary BY Kmtyw people?

There are many others out now, they're just not available online/out of copyright like the christaller one:

Here are references of some of the best recent ones:

The last 3 are translations from Akan into Akan, so they may not be the best for a beginner, but the last one can be bought online from the seller (with shipping of the physical copy).
