(Original thread: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2013-June/041436.html and http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2013-July/041444.html ) I just wanted to give people an update. The Internet Archive is interested in working on a relevant project: "The idea being to grab the text of the recent change and extract out anything that looks like a URL and feed it into a queue at IA's end for archiving." http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-September/071623.html If you have expertise to share, Vinay would be the one to share it with! -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation P.S. After this email, I'm unsubscribing from the mediawiki-l list as I prep for my sabbatical - more info at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-August/071542.html . If you need to talk about Wikimedia technical community stuff or communication before January, please consult Quim Gil, qgil at wikimedia dot org, or Guillaume Paumier, gpaumier at wikimedia dot org. Thanks! Looking forward to coming back in January. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
