If you still aren't willing to give us the uncompiled script sources, could you reconsider giving us the documentation?
I am assuming that you generate documentation for internal use, and I can't see how it would be worse than giving us the TDESC's.
Although I haven't delved much into script modding myself, my guess is that having access to the documentation is far more useful to us than having access to decompiled code.

If not decompiled code, the best they can do is give us an outline of the code (by wiping the actual code) with the developer notes. But something tells me that there might not be any useful (for us) notes in there. I might be wrong about it but the programming staff hasn't changed much for the last 4 years which means it's a very minimal documentation. Looks like a lot of sections of the sources is dealt with by individual programmers since they include their names there, so they don't need that much documentation in the first place.
And we can generate an outline like that ourselves, but it won't be anywhere near as helpful as the actual source.

Remind me if I'm wrong, but weren't we unable to decompile a lot of files in the beginning, but then someone went in and fixed a decompiler?
We probably could look into why uncompyle6 chokes on the files and maybe fix the problem there.
As our community uses these tools so much it would be nice if we gave back some, if we can that is.

The decompiler for Python 3.3 was actually designed for 3.2 but then edited for someone somewhere to work with 3.3. I don't think it was the Sims community that got it to work, it was the case of using the decomplier for the right version since they are named the same. And if I'm wrong, just by looking at uncompyle6, we are dealing with something a lot more complex and editing will be challenging.
