1. WikiTeam, we love you, what do you need to be more
effective at
archiving WM wikis?
Mainly, at least one volunteer willing to run the scripts in my stead so
that it doesn't always fall on me. This is either a babysitting or a
coding task to make things more reliable so it tends to be a project in
the region of dozens or possibly hundreds of hours of work.
(You can save some work if you spend a few hundred dollars on good
equipment and/or happen to have several TB of fast internet-connected
disks few network hops from SFMIX and the WMF.)
There's also the problem that people thought it smart to mirror millions
of big Internet Archive files on Commons, so I become less and less
comfortable with the idea of filling IA with hundreds of TB of content
that's becoming more and more duplicative. At ArchiveTeam, as a
reference, we consider 2000 $/TB as a cost of an upload to IA. Are 300
more TB of Commons media worth almost a million dollar to the IA's
mission? I'm not quite sure, I'd need to check what's in there.
