I think that the contents of the wiki database have been saved if my memory 
serves me, but I am not aware as to who has them.  I might have some clues in 
my email archive and will have a little look when I get a chance...

OK.  I would quite like to see what was on the old site (and maybe move it 
into CVS if there is useful stuff), but the site doesn't have to go live to 
do this we just need access to the data.

It was also just niggling me because I offered to do it so it was on a mental 
todo list as a "failed task".  However, if it is no longer required then I 
can cross it off the list...

We (fiennes.org) are using the latest build and all of the sites built with 
node (my application server) are integrated with webmacro so we are 
definitely still interested in what is happening with the project.
