The home page and distribution master site no longer exist. I have the original source distribution, so I can put it into the MacPorts repository if so desired, but I don't know if it's worth doing so. I could also post it on my home page as a piece of apparently orphaned software that I'm willing to try to maintain, because it seems very simple, but I don't know if I want to do that yet.

Man, I wish I had the time to trawl these open tickets, nox :P

I still have the source, so I'm willing to post it somewhere, but I doubt that I'll want to try supporting it at any stage.

One other thought I had is with respect to the licensing of the source, or rather its lack of any explicit licensing. A quick Google search reveals that the original author of the webarchiver source has the same name as the guy who develops Scrivener, so I might drop him a line to see if it's actually him and, if it is, see what he wants to do with the source.

Don't expect me to do any of this stuff before exams finish at the end of this month, though :P
