15:06 🔗 jjt Hello!
15:07 🔗 jjt What is the process for alerting everyone that a site looks like it may go away in the future, and scraping it is going to take a really really long time?
15:08 🔗 GLaDOS Just tell us in here!
15:08 🔗 balrog really really long time? bring it up here
15:08 🔗 balrog it will require more work than just feeding it to the bot :/
15:10 🔗 jjt Last.fm has been losing staff at a fairly rapid rate, and they're probably going to be turning off their streaming in favour of a youtube-based thing.
15:10 🔗 jjt I have horrid feelings that they don't have long left.
15:11 🔗 jjt But given the size of the site, scraping it will take a very long time.
15:13 🔗 jjt Is there a way of getting it onto some kind of watchlist? How do you decide which sites need archiving?
15:13 🔗 balrog we've had them on watch for a while...
15:13 🔗 balrog but no one's mentioned them
15:13 🔗 balrog in a few months
15:14 🔗 jjt Right. Well, it might be worth looking a little closer.
15:15 🔗 jjt There's a lot of interest in that data Not Going Away, from both users and the research community.
15:16 🔗 SketchCow Will note
15:17 🔗 jjt If there's anything I can do to help it get archived do let me know.
15:26 🔗 Smiley jjt: stick around
15:26 🔗 Smiley things tend to happen very quickly once they start happening, but it's a case of someone figuring out how to do it
15:29 🔗 godane i'm going after the missing section of forums.winamp.com that i forgot about

16:21 🔗 DFJustin looks like ibm5170_cdrom was added
16:22 🔗 DFJustin btw on the software list stuff, it would be nice to include the hash/*.xml files from the corresponding version of mess, as a love note to the future
16:23 🔗 DFJustin the filenames can be pretty opaque
17:12 🔗 joepie91 jjt: this might also be handy to have on speed dial (bookmarks): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jAzdEfsAGNzzVQpDisNDuJHk_kjCUIXV2nCpKsPAL0I/viewform
