was there a good reason given as why the forum's rewrite wasn't publicly hosted on github or similar? people could help maybe. understand why the old code can't be distributed due to some being proprietary, but getting a copyright agreement and licensing from new contributors should be straightforward?

i wouldn't have anything to contribute and almost no one else would either. no one looks at source code other than people who, for whatever hosed-up reason, actually care about code. that's a blessing at least. plus it would ensure a history of commits that a follow-up writer or maintainer could use to figure out what needs to be done. maybe this is all moot and actually lowtax has all dev work being committed to a server somewhere he controls and the only difference is visibility. hate to see anyone's work get lost
