JACOBY'S FRAGMENTE DER GRIECHISCHEN HISTORIKER is being republished online in a new edition by Brill. David Meadows has the story. Excerpt from the announcement from Ian Worthington, the editor-in-chief of the project:
BNJ [Brill's New Jacoby] will appear online at the rate of 80-100 authors per year (approximately half of this number appearing every six months) beginning in January 2006. Each author will be subject to peer review and revision before publication. The advantage of online publication is that authors will be published as soon as all revision stages are complete, rather than having to wait years before appearing with others (in a numerical sequence) in a hard copy volume. When all 856 authors are online, in approximately ten years' time, hard copy volumes will be produced.

FGrH includes a number of Hellenistic Jewish authors and other related authors such as Berossus.

UPDATE: Sorry for the multiplication of this post. Blogger has been acting up a lot lately and after posting two or three copies of this in the afternoon, it refused to let me make any changes until now (11:00 pm).
