Joining everybody else in saying that it sounds like a great idea :)

I don't have much hope but would there be a way to find out whether
all the code that was developed between the moment we stopped using
github and the project was canceled could be pushed back to github?

It seems like it would greatly help Greybus have a second life if one
has access to the most up-to-date firmware source code to be used as a
reference.

(Egoistically, it would also help not having this awful impression of
wasted time if the work that was achieved during these few months of
closed-source development ends up being lost...)

Are the greybus specifications still available? Maybe the HTML
generated content of the specs could go there..
