Sep 8, 2017 at 21:05 comment added Jon Ericson StaffMod @NathanOliver: Excellent question. From a practical point of view, it seems unreasonable to include 27-some names and profile links (much less 70). From a C.Y.A., linking to the archive is sufficient. I'd just do my best to pick out the top contributors using whatever method makes sense to you (and early authors seem a reasonable choice) and using a trusty et al. to cover the rest. I wish this had an easy solution. :-(
Sep 8, 2017 at 19:17 comment added NathanOliver I have a question regarding consider linking to the top few major contributors. How do we determine who the top contibutors are? Consider this example, which people should we explicitly cite? Should we just go by date and take to top few since they were the first and thus laid the foundation?

Aug 31, 2017 at 13:26 comment added Matt Why do you remove the content? An archive accessible via browser would be much better. For me, a JSON archive is useless.
Aug 28, 2017 at 21:30 comment added NH. @NathanOliver if it is a JSON, can't we just link to the dump and then provide the index that you need to get to the relevant part (object["ID here"]["other ID here"])?

Aug 19, 2017 at 15:05 comment added ReinstateMonica3167040 Why not use Community to replace Docs links with Wayback Machine links?

Aug 18, 2017 at 14:04 comment added Ian Ringrose Why not a link to the wayback machine as attribution? At a first step, you could even auto converts all links to documentation into wayback machine links before putting the posts in the spacal review queue.

Aug 16, 2017 at 13:29 comment added Caleb Kleveter @Panda Thank you for suggesting that (I have a reason for a great appreciation).
Aug 16, 2017 at 2:48 comment added Panda I'd just like to express my thanks to the Docs team for implementing my suggestion regarding Docs badges, really glad to hear that!
Aug 15, 2017 at 20:40 comment added Will Ness (contd.) there's also a problem with TOC pages which get chopped into several pages, when there are many topics. each such page gets its own URL and must be saved separately. One long page with all the topics in one screen would be nice to have. without the TOC pages the topics will be inaccessible.
Aug 15, 2017 at 20:38 comment added Jon Ericson StaffMod @WillNess: Yes, scripting that rather than doing it by hand is the way to go. I'm trying out the Ruby I learned participating on Docs, but it doesn't have to be me.
Aug 15, 2017 at 20:34 comment added Will Ness @JonEricson that's good to hear. maybe you could just push them all somehow programmatically (not just the missing - even those that are present may be severely outdated). Doing it by hand sucks, there's big delays and trying to save more than a few at once usually results in "no available servers to handle request" error. one thing though. it seems some JS is served from your servers for each page as well. If you stop doing that, it might prevent pages from loading? (I don't understand much about these things).
Aug 15, 2017 at 20:24 comment added Jon Ericson StaffMod @WillNess: We don't have any plans to mess with the Wayback Machine. On the contrary, I've been looking to submit pages that are currently missing there.
Aug 15, 2017 at 20:16 comment added Will Ness will web.archive.org links to docs still work after you remove the docs from your servers? please don't do anything that would break it, if possible.

Aug 15, 2017 at 19:35 comment added NathanOliver Bummer. Well, if you have to you have to. As long as there is a title or id or something easily identifiable it shouldn't be to hard to do a find on it.
Aug 15, 2017 at 19:32 comment added Jon Ericson StaffMod @NathanOliver: We're still working out how the archive will work, but it's looking like you'll have to link to the entire data dump. :-(
Aug 15, 2017 at 19:30 comment added NathanOliver Will you be able to link to the part of the dump you copied from or will it be a link to the entire dump?
