Russ posted already that we’re shutting down Mowser. I was chatting with him earlier, and we’re looking to sell what we have already rather than just toss it all. I still think it’s a great service that could fulfill a pressing need for a bunch of mobile sites out there. I’m not nearly as down on the idea of Mowser and the future of the mobile web as Russ is. Given the licensing fees associated with a few of the other adaption engines out there focused on mobile we could probably sell it for enough to get Russ out of debt and at the same time save some service provider a ton of money. If you’re interested let me know. miker at mowser dot com.

I think you should open-source it; it’d look great on a resume! Of course, I really just wanna see the code, and I can’t afford to buy it :)
Here’s a slightly more real idea, though: re-work it as an in-house transcoding engine aimed at large enterprises (for just their intranet & public sites). Make the code open-source, but charge consulting fees to customize and add new features. Hey, look where that model got MySQL!
