The latest public archive I know of was made on September 13, 2007 - on the Wayback Machine:

Lots of the links are dead though. Perhaps the older versions are more complete:

Google seems to have scanned the site on September 18, 2008 - but I don't know how complete the scraping was. It's not obvious to me how to follow links inside of Google's cache and stay in the cache... :-( If it would help, I'll see what I can do about grabbing what I can from Google.

I'd be happy to reconstruct some form of Search using Altavista and so forth, but I would assume that if we aren't tied to Zope any more then it should be fairly easy to scrape the new database directly. That's just a guess on my part, though.

I would assume that if the disk is still functioning, even in a degraded state, then it would be better to use GNU ddrescue or similar tools before thinking about taking the platters out or other extreme measures.

I for one would be more than happy to chip in $ to send the disk to experts to be salvaged if it would save Scott and Mike time. Some of the rescue folks apparently can do miracles. (I understand that getting things after the last good backup is on a low priority.)

Thanks Scott and Mike. Please don't get an ulcer over this. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.
