We need to have an open source SR / Atlantis / market script so that in case SR / Atlantis / other markets get shut down, it would take anyone to re-install, re-launch, and announce. Who likes this idea?

Eh, I dunno. The fact that there's no pre-existing free to download code like this is preferable in my mind. Having open source code like Wordpress or something would lower the barrier to entry to run a site like this, and would mean some moron who knows jack shit about crypto or security could start a site like SR that would have terrible security. Having to program your own SR-like site is a sign of at least some technical prowess.

Sites with poor security will get shut down sooner or later and the more secure sites will live.
As far as buyer security goes, as long as you do not enable scripts and use PGP, you should be secure.
