[22:37] <BiggieJon> when will the urlteam project resume ?
[22:53] <ersi> BiggieJon: It's hard to say. But currently; "whenever someone starts it again".
[22:53] * ersi moves it up his TODO list
[22:55] <BiggieJon> is it an issue of how to scrape site without getting blocked /throttled ?
[22:56] <ersi> Nope.
[22:58] <ersi> soultcer started the URLTeam effort and ran everything. He's unfortunately unable to continue doing so - and flagged that someone needed to take over (in very good advance).
[22:59] <ersi> I havn't gotten around to setting the environment up and generating tasks yet unfortunately :-/
[22:59] <BiggieJon> I only recently heard of archiveteam and the projects
[23:00] <BiggieJon> trying to do what I can to help, but I'm not a programmer
[23:01] <ersi> That's great. Well, it's not really programming that's needed in this project at the moment.. It's just that it's currently unmaintained and not up and running.
[23:01] <BiggieJon> i c
[23:02] <BiggieJon> trying to learn more about how these projects run
[23:02] <BiggieJon> I am the hardware manager for a large web hosting company, trying to figure out if therre is some way I could get some resources from my company
[23:03] <ersi> It's all mostly ad-hoc. But we're drifting further away from the "URLTeam sub-project" continously. Maybe this is a discussion for #archiveteam or #archiveteam-bs where there's more souls :-)
[23:04] <ersi> (I saw you in there as well now)
[23:06] <ersi> To fill in a little about what this particular projected needed when it was running was; IPs to spread out the requests on. URL shorteners are very restrictive against scrapers.
[23:06] <ersi> And discovering new url shorteners and map how their url generating schema is setup
