TBH this is not enough. What Dink Smallwood really needs to revive is to improve the engine itself, sure there's FreeDink but this is not enough.
Just look at other older games that got their source code released, such as Quake or Doom. Their engine has been improved so much you can do loads of stuff that are impossible to make on a original engine. So far DS has PNG support, both officially and unofficially (an exploit in FreeDink) but the map editors don't support em.
EDIT: Speaking of the map editor. That too needs some improvements, it is just too primitive and uncomfortable to use, sure there is WinDinkEdit but so far there hasn't been an option to create an area which the script would start other than do it by typing it itself for example (and it's a pain to do it), along with the fact that it's not crossplatform.
