COLLECTED BY

Organization: Archive Team

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.

The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.

This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.

Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.

The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

Automatic Updates

By hestenet on 6 September 2018, updated 17 July 2020

A project for organizing the Auto Updates Initiative efforts, as proposed in this idea.

This project is being developed in Contrib, for eventual inclusion in Drupal core.
Documentation can be found here:

Phase 1 of the Automatic Updates Initiative

The first phase of the Automatic Updates initiative includes the following scope:

Providing a JSON feed of Drupal PSAs from Drupal.org
Displaying PSAs in the Drupal admin interface
Providing an extensible update readiness check system
Generating update packages from Drupal.org
Securing the update packages with a signing system
Applying the updates, manually or automatically, with roll-back

All of this work is now stable.

Phase 2 of the Automatic Updates Initiative

The second phase of the Automatic Updates initiative will focus on:

Providing an A/B front-end controller for more robust testing/roll-back features
Supporting contributed module automatic updates
Supporting composer-based site installs

See issues tagged with automatic updates phase 2 for more details.

This work is seeking sponsorship.

Version 2.x of the module is entirely experimental code to start to wire in integration for composer. It doesn't work at the moment and might not ever fully work. There is no expectation that a alpha, beta or 2.0 version will ever be released, as we are in a state of moving much of that code over into Drupal core (Yeah!)

TL;DR; use 1.0+ version of this module until core supports these features.
