Some of us were kicking around the idea of pooling some money to pay someone knowledgeable to port it over, but it's a losing proposition for several reasons.
First of all, it will need maintenance. How will we keep paying for that? A hundred bucks or so spread out among the members every time a new version of Finale comes out? What happens if the supporters don't upgrade right away? Would it be fair to to ask for more money if the person isn't going to use the result?
Secondly, part of Jari's agreement to release the code is that other people won't charge for it. So even if someone like Robert Patterson or Tobias Geisen does it, they won't be able to distribute it even for the tiny licence fee they normally charge for their plugins, and they get saddled with all the administration duties with no remuneration in sight. It's going to be hard to convince someone to do it, I think.
Unless MakeMusic takes it over?

I remember Jari mentioning that he intended to release the source code, but I don't recall him ever actually announcing that the source code was released.
However, I miss his plugins as well, and I hope that right after he releases the code somebody knowledgeable will pick it up and adapt it.
