I would love it if those who profess to care about pure GFDL compliance would do something about restoring the lost edit histories in the 2001-2002 period of a large number of entries.
I'd be very interested in such a project, though I'm not sure that my technical skills would be much help. If it was possible to import histories it wouldn't be that hard to do a history merge, although really the whole thing would make the most sense done by scripts.
What kind of entries are you referring to here? Just glancing about for an example, I discovered that the history for [[Computer science]] on the English Wikipedia begins with the last edit shown for it on the nostalgia.wikipedia site, so obviously that's one type. Are there other sources to pull missing history from, or is this what you had in mind?
