Here's where Archive Teamsters can list the projects they are currently working on and organize new projects.
Active Projects
- Jason Scott is running Textfiles.com and archiving a ton of things.
- seanp2k is running somaseek.com and tracking all the song history for all of the internet radio stations on somafm.com since March 2010.
- Ross is interviewing the sites of 2008.
- l.m.orchard is starting work on some self-hosted web apps that will migrate and archive from other sites. (ie. FriendFeed, Delicious)
- sungo is archiving etherpad.
- Scott has archived the Infoanarchy wiki site. -- The archive is complete and is at: Infoanarchy wiki archive. A few pages are occasionally updated on the Infoanarchy wiki, so they will be updated on the archive every couple of months.
- Tsp is attempting to archive the stories from fanfiction.net and fictionpress.
- emijrp is attempting to archive dumps and related info about wikis: Wikipedia, Wikia, Citizendium, some minor encyclopedias like Enciclopedia Libre or Wikanda, etc. Also, downloading albums from Jamendo. You can know more about his projects in his userpage.
- bbot has archived everything2, and will continue to make further archives as more content is added.
- Jean-Claude Bradley and Andrew Lang are archiving the Open Notebook Science projects Reaction Attempts and the ONS Solubility Challenge. This includes the lab notebooks and all associated raw data files.
Ideas for Projects
- Suggestion: An archive of .gif and .swf preloaders? Kuro 19:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- We can extract all the .gif files from the GeoCities archive and compare them using md5sum to discard dupes. Emijrp 19:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Set up an FTP hub which AT members can access and up/down finished projects.
- Track the 100+ top twitter feeds, as designated by one of these idiot Twitter grading sites, and back up on a regular basis the top twitter people, for posterity.
- Groklaw has a project proposal that we could help with. - Jason
- Archive the shutdown announcement pages on dead sites.
- RSS Feed with death notices. - Jason
- I'm taking a shot at this with The Dead, the Dying & the Damned. --Auguste 14:34, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- Twitter profile might be a good way to broadcast new site obituaries. - psicom
- TinyURL and similar services, scraping/backup - Steve
- Symphony could potentially be used for archiving structured XML/RSS feeds to a relational database - Nick
- A Firefox plugin for redirecting users to our archive when they request a site that's been rescued. - ???
- As reported on boingboing by Cory Doctorow, all of Gopherspace - scraped in 2007 - needs an archive home. Anybody have 15GB of spare hosted-server space for this project?
- I do, please contact me at admin@emuwiki.com to tell me what to do. EmuWikiAdmin 15:17, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- They are added to iBiblio http://torrent.ibiblio.org/search.php?query=gopher&submit=search Emijrp 11:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Archives of MUD, MUSH, MOO game sites and related information. They won't all be around forever. --Auguste 13:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm keeping an eye out for, and archiving sites like LambdaMOO.info, which are either closing down or may be at risk. --Auguste 13:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Finished Projects
- Jason founded the Archive Team.
- bbot made an archiveteam TPB user. Get the password from him or Jason. (Not really a project, per se.)
- starwars.yahoo.com was successfully archived before it shut downin Dec, 2009
Dead Projects
- EmuWikiAdmin created EmuWiki, a collection of all emulators, emulator documents, and hardware information that exists, regrouped in a referenced database. Unfortunately, it shut down in May 2010 due to copyright issues. A 20GB torrent of the site is apparently floating around somewhere.
