New blog post: Proposal for a dedicated archive site for #Wikipedia
https://blog.legoktm.com/2026/08/28/proposal-for-a-dedicated-archive-site-for-wikipedia.html
In February when English Wikipedia banned usage of archive.today there was a bit of a crisis in needing to find alternative archives.
As far as I know, no solution has actually materialized, so I thought I'd at least write down my idea.
In short, I think the social and legal parts of this are far harder to get right; in comparison the technology seems pretty straightforward.
