We've uploaded a bunch of stuff: https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject:Archiveteam
Let's go through the list and make sure it's categorized, has decent metadata, etc.
Many of our uploads are quite large, and have been broken into many items on Archive.org. We'll group them together here and verify each set all at once.
Things to check
- Collection
- Are all the related items grouped into a collection?
- Description
- Can a visitor figure out what each item represents? Items in a collection don't need to repeat the description of the collection, but it'd be nice if they had a sentence or two, and information about how the item differs from the other items in the collection ("MP3s from earbits.com, files starting with c." from the Earbits items is a good example.)
- Inclusion
- Are all the related items included in the same collection?
- Categorization
- Can a visitor find the item by browsing the collections?
- Cross-references
- Can a visitor find other items in a set, starting at any item in the set? Can a visitor find the index of a large set starting from any part of it?
- Indexing
- If the item is a collection of sub-items, is one of these sub-items an index of the others? (This is a complicated thing to check for and to create when it doesn't exist, so we can come back to this after we've checked the rest.)
- Your suggestion here
- this is just off the top of my head.

Oddities, Mislocations, and To Do
