Brainstorming on how we can upload the files to IA items.

Remember not to upload the ftp2 stuff publically!

x-archive-meta-title: "Fileplanet_Path_with_underscores". Without the ftp1/2/3 bit, so eg "ftp1/102011/Yes_Man_Dynamic_Theme.7z" would become the item "102011_Yes_Man_Dynamic_Theme.7z", "ftp1/fpnew/patches/prorally2001_v11.exe" would be "fpnew_patches_prorally2001_v11.exe". This might need some care about special characters that IA does not support for item names.

x-archive-meta-description: For now just put the path there. So basically the item name but with special characters intact. TODO later is to add the real metadata we got, shaqfu has a sqlite db with it, otherwise use the fileinfo item: http://archive.org/details/FileplanetFiles_fileinfo_pages_images

x-archive-meta-date: Not sure what format it supports, but this should be the file's original timestamp. x-archive-meta-year: See above.

x-archive-meta-subject: gaming;software;gaming software;fileplanet;gamespy;ign;planetnetwork


x-archive-meta-collection:archiveteam-fileplanet no idea if this would work with s3 upload x-archive-meta-mediatype:software (not always correct, maybe check for filename extensions like avi, mov, mp4 etc to set it to movies for those)

Remember not to upload the ftp2 stuff publically!
