[Archive-access-discuss] request for comments about a project proposal

[Daniel G. <dan...@fc...>]

Dear web archivers,

Portugal is now beginning its national web archiving initiative with 
project Tomba at FCCN (National
Foundation for Scientific Computing). Tomba aims to create a national 
web archive system using Archive-access
tools and to contribute to this project with enhancements and new tools.

The first contribution we intend to make to the Archive-access project 
is the development of a distributed
system, which enables the replication of the archive files kept in a 
repository (ARC files) across several
storage nodes on the Internet.

The main idea is to enable Internet users to provide storage space from 
their
computers to replicate a relatively small part of the archived data. 
Ideally, every ARC file kept in the
central repository would have several replicas stored across the 
Internet. This system was named rARC
(ARC replicator).

I send a short description of the project in attachment.

We would deeply appreciate you comments.

Best regards,

--
