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
  • Twitter profile might be a good way to broadcast new site obituaries. - psicom
  • TinyURL and similar services, scraping/backup - Steve
    • highlight services that at least allow exporting data (Diigo that I know of). Next "best" - services that have registeration and enable viewing your URL / saving them by e.g. saving as HTML (tr.im). Etc. --Jaakkoh 05:39, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
  • 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)
