Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Collection: ArchiveBot: The Archive Team Crowdsourced Crawler

ArchiveBot is an IRC bot designed to automate the archival of smaller websites (e.g. up to a few hundred thousand URLs). You give it a URL to start at, and it grabs all content under that URL, records it in a WARC, and then uploads that WARC to ArchiveTeam servers for eventual injection into the Internet Archive (or other archive sites).

To use ArchiveBot, drop by #archivebot on EFNet. To interact with ArchiveBot, you issue commands by typing it into the channel. Note you will need channel operator permissions in order to issue archiving jobs. The dashboard shows the sites being downloaded currently.

There is a dashboard running for the archivebot process at http://www.archivebot.com.

19 More Maximums Required For £1 Million Bonus!

Thursday 15 Aug 2019 10:08AM

With one maximum break made so far during the 2019/20 season, 19 more 147s are needed to trigger the new £1 million bonus.

As announced by World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn in May, the 147 bonus has been introduced this season. If there are 20 (or more) maximums during the season, the £1 million will be shared between the players who made 147s.

Ronnie O’Sullivan has made 15 maximums – more than any other player

A player making more than one of those 20 would receive a proportional share, for example if he made two 147s and there were 20 in total, he would receive £100,000. This replaces the previous ‘rolling prize’ system.

The only 147 so far this season came from Tom Ford during the International Championship qualifiers. Ford won the £6,000 high break prize at that event, as there is now no distinction between the qualifying round and TV stages in terms of the high break prizes, while those prizes have been increased across the whole tour this season.

With the China Championship qualifiers now underway in Barnsley, could we see more 147s flying in and progress towards the required total of 20? Maximums made in any of these events count towards the total:

World Cup
Riga Masters
World Open
Shanghai Masters
Indian Open
China Championship
English Open
International Championship
Championship League
Northern Ireland Open
UK Championship
Scottish Open
The Masters
European Masters
German Masters
World Grand Prix
Welsh Open
