i still think my crazy idea of lots of github repos might work. a prefix tree of the shortcodes can dictate how the repos are arranged and the urls can be compressed but in textual form. the tracker just needs to checkout the appropriate repo, sort, merge, commit, and push. |

and for random shortcodes, the clients can decide on what shortcodes to try and eventually it will converge to completion. |

Can you move on it? |

It's really a matter now of even if we rebuild from scratch, we must stop shortener death and being so behind on something we never have this information. |

I don't care how the information is available, as long as you don't have to bang in a massive client-server architecture to read the output. |

The Archive itself does not have much in the way of funds to put out in this direction, but let me know what range of compensation you were hoping for. |

SketchCow: i'd prefer not take any money from IA. it's just that i'd prefer something, but it's not absolutely necessary. |

it'd be nice to be able to cut releases without a week's worth of manual effort and waiting for disks |

also I'd like a way to add all the piddling little shorteners to it as we find them, at least for normal-seeming ones |
