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.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
This PR was inspired a bit by #282, which incentivized me to see if we had any other security vulnerabilities. It turns out we did馃槵 Running
yarn auditonmastercurrently outputs the following:After taking a look at the security warnings on
npm, it became clear we could avoid these just by bumping a few of our dependencies. Runningyarn auditon this branch yields no security warnings.I also decided to make two other changes in this PR:
textas our command line coverage reporter fornyc. This gives us nice reporting on lines missing coverage and matches the Jest UI (which I find helpful when strategizing about what to test).npm-run-allfor ourcheckandcheck-ciscripts. I likenpm-run-allbecause it will detect what client you're using (npmoryarn) and use it for you to execute the scripts. I considered enforcingyarnhere but realized this is often a polarizing enough decision that it might turn off contributors. For example, contributors can stillnpm installthe project if they really want to, but if we usedyarnin all of thesepackage.jsonscripts, they flat out wouldn't work fornpmusers.npm-run-allis a nice in-between that keeps everyone happy. It exposesrun-swhich will run the commands in sequence (it also exposesrun-pwhich will do things in parallel).
