Shutdown notification
On the March 13, Google announced that they'll "spring clean" Google Reader at Official Google Reader Blog:
we will soon retire Google Reader (the actual date is July 1, 2013)
Backing up your own data
- Main page - google.com/reader/
- Export via Google Takeout
- Contains subscriptions and starred items, but not tags
- Can be imported into The Old Reader
- API: https://code.google.com/p/pyrfeed/wiki/GoogleReaderAPI
Backing up the historical feed data
Google Reader acts as a cache for RSS/Atom feed content, keeping deleted posts and deleted blogs accessible (if you can recreate the RSS/Atom feed URL). After the Reader shutdown, this data might still be available[1] via the Feeds API, but we'd like to grab most of this data before July 1 through the much more straightforward /reader/ API.
The ArchiveTeam Warrior job for this project should be ready in a few days.
Your help is needed
Give us your feed URLs
We need to discover as many feed URLs as possible. Not all of them can be discovered through crawling, so we need your OPML files. (Though if you have any private or passworded feeds, please strip them out.)
Upload OPML files and lists of URLs to:
http://allyourfeed.ludios.org:8080/
Install the ArchiveTeam Warrior
Install the ArchiveTeam Warrior and have it run ArchiveTeam's Choice:
http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=ArchiveTeam_Warrior
Google Reader will (probably) soon become the primary job.
Crawl websites to discover blogs and usernames
We need to discover millions of blog/username URLs on popular blogging platforms (which we'll turn into feed URLs):
- *.tumblr.com
- *.livejournal.com
- *.wordpress.com
- *.blogspot.com
- *.posterous.com
- *.typepad.com
- twitter.com/*
- *.dreamwidth.org
- http://www.reddit.com/user/*/.rss
- Old Hacker News feeds
- ... and many more (please add them here!)

Add gzip support to wget-lua
It would be quite helpful to have a wget-lua that supports gzip content encoding (vanilla wget doesn't support it either.) This will speed up downloads and save a lot of bandwidth.
There have already been some attempts at making wget support gzip:
https://github.com/kravietz/wget-gzip (Windows-only; needs to work on Linux)
https://github.com/ptolts/wget-with-gzip-compression (based on a wget from 2003?)
