Archive webpage archive hub

[jbenet]

Every independent archival effort that we do should have a webpage. It would be useful for it to have certain things like:

• latest head
• how to replicate
• version history
• archival scripts
• maintainer
• license
• authors
• original urls

There may be standards for this already. (Check the Internet Archive and OKFN?)

It may be doable as a package.json style metadata file, and a script to produce an index.html.

Oh the archive hub part is that it might be nice if we could point to a page for issues (fine to use this repo for now), a home like ipfs.io/archives or archives.ipfs.io to list everything available, and so on

👍 was going to suggest this myself at some point :)

I'll try to finalise arXiv #2 soon, so that we have something to work with as a starting point.

In addition to your list above, what about also including a link to the relevant issue in this ipfs/archives repository? a lot of the stuff we archive will be incomplete for the first pass. people who find the archive on ipfs should know where to go if they want to help

i'll start thinking about this issue over the next week and try to put together a POC/demo. at this point we have plenty of archives to work with

i hacked this together as something to start a discussion on the nitty-gritty details (obviously not finished, but have a look anyway)

(edit: see below for the latest version of this page)

looking good!

would be nice to grab the page's hash with js and show it also as
"everything" or something.
