The Million Mutation Project now has putative loss-of-function mutations in 6,774 genes from their sequencing of 2,000 mutagenized strains! You can search your favorite gene at the Million Mutation Project site. Strains are available at the CGC. Much of this dataset is already available in WormBase on both the Genome Browser (via the Million Mutation Project track) and as individual Variation Summaries. The remaining data will be fully integrated into WormBase release W233.
