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

- 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?

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.
