Conversation
Wide-ranging but essentially trivial adjustment of line length. Also fixes top-level indenting in gdb.rst particularly.

Isn't the space necessary here?
You could remove the comma and use example::, but otherwise I would leave it as is.

That's a bit of Eclipse formatting (good for some things), not intentional. I see that in the original, the comma shows and the colon is invisible. I'll replace with the long form.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

Primary aim is to conform to the 80 character rule (where possible). At the same time I've cleaned up other formatting faults in the same area as the long lines.
I don't personally like to re-flow paragraphs further than end of the affected sentence when I'm writing, so I mostly haven't. It makes it easier to see what changed.
