I seriously doubt the wiki is the optimal way to "resurrect" a project. Even if you do not know perl and are uncomfortable doing the development it doesn't stop you from trying to rally people to the cause. I know there are a bunch of talented folks in the SA community that might be willing to help and just need an effort to get going so they can contribute. My suggestion would be to put out a call for help on the mailing list. Explain where you believe the project currently is and what you feel needs to happen to get it back to a useable state. Gather some folks willing to help. If necessary start up a new project on SF or some other place and start working on the code. If you give folks an environment to contribute to then they may help. It's the standard, build it and they will come philosophy. The flip side is, you ask for help and no one helps. If the interest in the project isn't there then it isn't there. Not much you can do about that except learn perl and start coding yourself. Bitching on a wiki page that hardly anyone will ever see is certainly not the answer. Michael
