1. ArchiveBot
<SketchCow> Coders, I have a question.
<SketchCow> Or, a request, etc.
<SketchCow> I spent some time with xmc discussing something we could
do to make things easier around here.
<SketchCow> What we came up with is a trigger for a bot, which can
be triggered by people with ops.
<SketchCow> You tell it a website. It crawls it. WARC. Uploads it to
archive.org. Boom.
<SketchCow> I can supply machine as needed.
<SketchCow> Obviously there's some sanitation issues, and it is root
all the way down or nothing.
<SketchCow> I think that would help a lot for smaller sites
<SketchCow> Sites where it's 100 pages or 1000 pages even, pretty
simple.
<SketchCow> And just being able to go "bot, get a sanity dump"

The memory hole of the Web has gone too far.
Don't look down, never look away; ArchiveBot's like the wind.
