Rolled out a big archiving project today over at the Freedom of the Press Foundation! We're using Archive-It to make online backups of outlets "under threat" by possible interference by wealthy buyers, starting with Gawker and L.A. Weekly https://freedom.press/news/archiving-alternative-press-threatened-wealthy-buyers/
@rrix thank you!
@xor Thanks for reminding me I need to donate to them again!
@xor How has the experience with Archive-It been going so far? This is a really awesome project. It could be interesting to also explore putting copies of the WARC data on IPFS if people get worried about a single point of failure for the content.
@edsu Archive-It has been very smooth, but that's a really great idea. I have so far been happy to have somebody ELSE handling the WARCs but if this continues to be a focus I'm going to have to get my hands dirty, too
@xor this is really very cool work!
