Maybe this just needs a little more planning. * Look at the server logs and find the most used tools on toolserver * Contact those tool authors directly * Make copies of the source of those tools publicly available (they should all be open source, but some directories are not accessibly for other users from shell IIRC) * Keep a Foundation-readable snapshot of the toolserver home directories, user-store, DB dumps etc. * Forcibly port the most important, unmaintained tools to Labs I have already started with one or two, though I'd appreciate it if I don't have to do it all by myself ;-)
