About 2 years ago, I had the same experience and found out about 
BoxiBackup while reading a Usenix paper [0] that mainly talks about 
another remote backup system called Cumulus.

I agree that spreading the word about BoxiBackup is important, this 
might even attract additional developer talent.

Perhaps you can pick this up directly with the current copyright holders 
for the web page ("Content © Ben Summers and Chris Wilson, 2003-2008") 
so that you get a permission to use content under the license that 
Wikipedia requires? It would appear to be a waste of resources to redo a 
page that you already completed...

Best regards, Achim
