Agree that it's terribly uninteresting! I didn't vote for the proposal - I
couldn't vote on it. I was seeing if people would allow it to be applied as
written.

I would make this "...accessing reasonably complete available
collections..." to remove culpability if there are archives the
Archivist is unaware of or chooses not to recognise as official for some
other reason.

I would also capitalise this bullet point to match the others (or remove
the capitals from all the others, as you prefer).

I would make this "person" rather than "player" for robustness.

I would also add an extra catch-all point, something like "Any other
Agoran documents e chooses and deems it important to archive."

IMO the current records are complete enough that significant
contributions are likely to be few and far between, and justify a
higher-level reward than purely economic - patent title or maybe even a
new ribbon (pink? silver? teal? periwinkle?)

Overall, big fan of the idea, let's have more easily-accessible
historical archives. I've picked up a lot of them from having them
linked on occasion in the Discord but it would be nice to have them all
listed in one place, on-list.
