schbirid: So I just want to understand the issues here. Specifically: |
|

- Is there a good chance youΓ’ΒΒll get the domain back? |
|
18:39
π
|
icculus_ |
- Do you have a full copy of the data, or am I the only one? |
|
18:39
π
|
icculus_ |
- Do we have _any_ way to figure out who owns what, and contact them? |
|
18:39

(etc) |

I didnΓ’ΒΒt publish all this stuff on my server when quakedev died for these same concerns, but now IΓ’ΒΒm sort of worried itΓ’ΒΒll get lost forever, or the owners donΓ’ΒΒt even know it hasnΓ’ΒΒt been lost. |

domain: the domain owner is hard to come by but we are in mail contact and he wants to transfer the domain to me. godaddy is just being a bitch and at the moment i am trying to motivate him to pursue it further |
|

schbirid |
i know someone who has a full copy, see pm |
|
18:41
π
|
schbirid |
i guess contacting people would be hard |
|

my comment about not publishing was about eg tarring the whole server contents up |
|
18:41
π
|
schbirid |
that way things that would have been "hidden" by obscurity (index.html in the dir, files are not visible) would be public |
|

the masterplan for getting it into would be getting the domain, getting the sites back online, let IA crawl it |
|
18:42
π
|
schbirid |
now that i say it, we could try to simply get the sites up on a local server, use /etc/hosts to "spoof" the domain and do the crawl ourselves with wget -> warc |
|
18:43
π
|
schbirid |
in my opinion getting it back online as it was (scripts being interpreted etc) would be fine |
|

I agree |

and subversion? |
|
18:44
π
|
schbirid |
no clue, i have no idea if tehre might have been private repositories |
|

I guess I can sort through that. The problem is that there was a culture of closed source in the early-2000Γ’ΒΒs mod sceneΓ’ΒΒ¦itΓ’ΒΒs possible a lot was private for no (good) reason, and I donΓ’ΒΒt know how to resolve that. |

aaah, sorry i am being dumb. quakeDEV.com seems to be truly lost. i am in contact with him about quakeEXPO.com. looking at the whois of DEV earlier made me believe he still had it but looking at the website, it does not seem like it |
|

|
schbirid |
sorry for the confusion, this was really dumb |
|

hah, ok |

http://web.archive.org/web/20081120070340/http://svn.quakedev.com/ could be a start for svn |
