Greets Folks

about 14 years and 5 months ago or so, we released a Drupal module called

p2p-aid, it was announced here https://www.drupal.org/forum/general/show-off-your-drupal-site/2006-02-23/p2paidorg-now-live

It worked very well and was used by at least two subsequent efforts that I know of

I designed it, tested it and provided inputs and dbase specs, and Fax8 wrote the code

Today as I am looking for the code for a new deployment, I find out that Fax8 Passed away sadly, in 2013!!

what a tragedy, he had done a website migration for me, and was a wonderful person and a great developer

Strangely though, I cannot find the code for our module on Drupal, and this work is no longer listed on

Fabios personal website either, where it had a dedicated home page under projects with code and description etc.

varesano.net

1. does anyone have a copy of the code (maybe from a backup version of Drupal.org website?)

2. does anyone know what happened and why is the code no longer available on fabios website 

I have of course the project documentation and hundreds of emails bach and forth but the code was posted on drupal.org website

it was drupal 6 I think

help appreciated

Using the post you've linked, I searched for microproject management and p2pAid using google and I find no indication that there was ever a project page set up on drupal.org or any module submitted under that name. I've also used the username Fax8 and yours and find no issue posts or code commits by either of those two usernames on drupal.org. In fact, the only indication that there was any code is in the post you've linked and that post alludes to the code being on a forum. It's unclear whether that means drupal forum. Drupal.org does not delete projects. If it's floating around in the drupal.org forums. What username was used to post it?

Suggest using https://web.archive.org/ for the website www.varesano.net and see if what you want is accessible in the archive.

I don't think this code was ever stored on Drupal.org. We never delete any code that is stored in our official repo, even if it is totally useless (which it does not sound like is the case here).

I think the forum post that was mentioned in the 2006 post here is this: https://web.archive.org/web/20070808204548/http://www.p2paid.org/node/72 (by courtesy of the Web Archive).  It links to a tarball named "p2paid.org.tar.gz" that probably contains the site's source code. Sadly, the tarball is not archived.

Googling for the tarball by name (in case somebody else had preserved it) gave me nothing.
