here's one of the collections that is nearly all done: http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Abig-k-magazine&sort=-publicdate |

the most important part here (besides finishing) is consistency |

dashcloud |
guys, does archiveteam have their own pastebin or similar thing yet? |

So basically I have to take these magazine sets, add a table of contents and publish date? Sounds fun |

dashcloud |
yes- here's the template I used for Big K magazine: http://pastebin.com/PQ0YJZ43 |

01:48
🔗
|
dashcloud |
pick a small set first (just so you can get a good workflow established easily)- you might want to ask Sketchcow about that, and then move on from there |
|
01:48
🔗
|
BlueMax |
Ask him about what, a good set to start on? |
|

do you mean computer screen, or physical desk space? |

computer screen |
|
01:53
🔗
|
dashcloud |
ah- it's quite doable here |
|
01:56
🔗

dashcloud |
you'll take advantage of some window manager features here to make it easier on yourself- pin your text document window on top, and zoom in the magazine page |

Is it possible to do metadata that's not on one line? the Big-K magazine metadata kinda gives me a headache |
|
01:59
🔗

dashcloud |
I used an editor that can wrap the line on the screen, while leaving it as one line in the file. |
|
01:59
🔗
|
BlueMax |
I can't use line breaks, like in Notepad++ or something? |
|
02:00

I'm not totally sure of the reason for that- if you'd like to know why, Sketchcow is the person to ask about that |
