So, according to ScribbleWiki (scribblewikiblog.com), SW is shutting down. Their hard drives failed and their backup provider didn't work. So, it appears the wiki is not coming back. I've sent emails to scribblewiki.com and offered to pay for data recovery, but I have received no response.
I've got an offer from wikia.com to help up get our data from Google cache. What do you all think? We could also divide the work among ourselves of getting content from Google's cache, but we should probably be quick about it in case the cache data gets cleared.

The best thing is to get a DB dump from scribblewiki... Let me see if I can find an email address.

It would be straightforward copy and paste to the media wiki then. Ideally, though, we would get an lwip db dump from the scribblewiki folks, which we could then merge into our own wiki db. As a side note, does anyone have a cool lwIP logo? Everything I do looks like bad programmer art.
