Ideas for Projects

• Suggestion: An archive of .gif and .swf preloaders? Kuro 19:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
• Set up an FTP hub which AT members can access and up/down finished projects.
• Track the 100+ top twitter feeds, as designated by one of these idiot Twitter grading sites, and back up on a regular basis the top twitter people, for posterity.
• Groklaw has a project proposal that we could help with. - Jason
• Archive the shutdown announcement pages on dead sites.
• RSS Feed with death notices. - Jason
• Twitter profile might be a good way to broadcast new site obituaries. - psicom
• TinyURL and similar services, scraping/backup - Steve
  • highlight services that at least allow exporting data (Diigo that I know of). Next "best" - services that have registeration and enable viewing your URL / saving them by e.g. saving as HTML (tr.im). Etc. --Jaakkoh 05:39, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
• Symphony could potentially be used for archiving structured XML/RSS feeds to a relational database - Nick
• A Firefox plugin for redirecting users to our archive when they request a site that's been rescued. - ???
