Proposed Group: Web Archivability Community Group
Posted on:The Web Archivability Community Group has been proposed by Ahmed AlSum:
Web Archivability is interested in proposing best practices that help the web developers and designers in building web site that can be easily captured, preserved, and replayed using the web archiving tools.
You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
* Will you be at W3C TPAC in Sapporo?
* Could you comment on the “replay” nature and the Web archiving tools?
* Could you expand a bit more on the original idea?
Olivier Théreaux (BBC) and myself (Mozilla) have worked on the topic of what we called the Rusty Web partly captured in English in https://github.com/karlcow/rustyweb/blob/master/2013/10-ParisWeb/article.en.md
This is a great community to propose. In case you haven’t seen it, Stanford Libraries’ Web Archiving Program has created some web archivability guidelines for creators that might be useful. https://library.stanford.edu/projects/web-archiving/archivability
