In February 2002, I tried to salvage the Nupedia (RIP) by rewriting the software completely (sounds familiar?), adding features like "fixed" texts editable by administrators etc., while preserving the look'n'feel of it. I registered it as "NuNupedia" with sourceforge, and even set up a demo site at
http://nunupedia.sourceforge.net/main.phtml
Since Nupedia in its original variant and, thus, my recreation were quickly made obsolete by what today is Wikipedia/MediaWiki, I hereby ask if *anyone* has even the slightest interest in keeping that zombie around any longer. If not, I will ask the sourceforge people to delete it.

Replying to myself, I just noticed that it isn't dead after all:

Someone tried to help me with a figure :-) (See the comments at the bottom; click "Show preview" for an actual article!)
