Sumana,
I did get in touch with Ed Chi (edchi@google.com)who was able to activate it again (or told me that Bongwon Suh billsuh@gmail.com would take care of it), through it appears this didn't last long. I recommend you contact Ed and Bongwon (I'll cc them here), hopefully they will get the ball rolling again and make this project permanently open and active at the Labs. I found the Dashboard a very useful tool (through it could certainly be refined, I never figured out how to get raw data behind the graphs, which would have been very nice...).
Sumana, sorry for the late reply, I only just noticed this email (seems it got routed to my newsgroup folder which I don't check regularly). I looked into this again because of this on wiki message: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Piotrus#wikidashboard:_403:_User_acc...
Cheers,

I see that I still get that same error when I try to use the tool, e.g., http://wikidashboard.appspot.com/enwiki/wiki/Bargain . Piotr, were you able to get in contact with the author? If so, you might just ask for the source code and then ask on the labs-l list to see whether anyone would be willing to move it from Toolserver to Tool Labs: http://tools.wmflabs.org/
All tools on Tool Labs must be open source https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Help#Rules_of_use to help prevent this kind of difficulty.
