I just want to say thank you to you and everyone involved! I ran a little mini project a while ago to archive my old Usenet posts by using puppeteer to scrape the content from Google groups, knowing full well that they could shut it down by fiat any time.
I've frankly never trusted them as a steward for this and I'm glad to see someone stepping in.
Do you have any plans to team up with the Internet Archive on this?
- jozefjarosciak 6y agoOnce I have everything in DB format, I'll certainly attempt to post it there.
- codetrotter 6y agoExcellent! Btw, in the DB format the posts are still uncensored or?
- toomuchtodo 6y agoPlease get in touch with collections-service@archive.org (Internet Archive Patron Services) when you’re ready. They will assist you with uploading the corpus to the archive (item creation, collection creation and assignment, metadata hygiene, etc). Thank you for your efforts!
