specs

  • definitely should be able to specify URL
  • should it also do some keyword searching on various web engines?
  • needs to return on periodic basis
  • captures: i think whole directory structure but not offsite external links;
    • external links can be spidered to see if relevant
    • problem even with local directory structure -- free webhosting sites can often include links to other servers in the domain with the system's logo, ads, etc. ... ?

programming lnaguages

  • perl
  • python
  • ???

samples to look at

  • are there any sample programs (open source) preexisting we can adapt?

copyright & other legal considerations

  • the code, if we adapt, should come from open source
  • the code, if we adapt or write, should be released open source
  • the archive itself presents its own copyright issues. s.107 and proposed revisions to s.108 provide a lot of cover for a "dark archive" -- one that just captures but does not distribute. we'll need policies etc.
  • COPPA is a concern if minor-sourced content is authored
  • other significant issues?
