Lets face it. There are some coins out there that could benefit from a facelift - including recent new alt coin advancements.  Why create new coins, when old ones can be revived.

Say a coin had a reasonable launch with no pre-mine, but the dev. never got fully invested (didn't make $ b/c no premine...) and since abandoned it... now its on a couple of exchanges, but forgotten.

I have several of these coins in mind...

What is the best way to attempt a revival? (i'm not capable of being a dev).  Recruit a dev. and do a community take over and relaunch?  There has to be miners would would also help fund some of these efforts by chipping in a little.

i'm sure this has been done in the past - meow i think?

how do create a wallet for a newly launched coin? for example, if i wanted to get some of the free earthcoins being given out. total newb question...

 How do you know when to sell?  Obviously you're shooting for the tip right before it starts to go down, but what are some of the signs to look for?  I've been trading for a little while now, and either sell way too early, or way too late. i didn't study economics, maybe that is my problem.

there's probably threads on this in some of the other forums, but seemed like a good question to ask for newbie.
