I belong to those who appreciate your recent work and vote for not 
shuting down DDTSS
and DDTP.

As already discussed on this list, there was too little maintainance at 
least in the past year.
Christian already proposed to lock some people with knowledge about the 
system somewhere
and release them only when they have improved the stability.

There is another issue that should be investigated. Since 01-14 it was 
not possible
to get new descriptions into the web interface.

On 01-20 I got a mail that Bug 608911 has been closed. As it was a 
spelling fix, there
should be new description available. I diffed the control files of 
version 0.8.8-7 and
0.8.8-9 to verify the changes and there are differences. So I suggest 
reviewing the logs
of tasks trying to feed the database at least from 01-20 until your repair.

Kind regards
