Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
In version 1.0.0 test results are presented in a table. Here's an example:
The table representation is good and allows to sort the result. For each column (test status, suitepath/description, runtime). This representation should be kept.
However, an additional hierarchical representation would be optimal to vizualize the tree structure. Something like this:
The icon of a test could be replaced by the test status (success, failure, error, disabled) after completion. During execution the icon could be set to "progress". The same way as in the table representation. The runtime could be added at the end of the suitpath/description in square brackets, similar to the documentation reporter (e.g.
[0.042 s]).Indicators for warning and info will not be included in the tree view. Sorting is also not possible. If this is wanted then switching back to the table representation is the way to go.
The tree should be fully expanded by default.
Synchronization with detail tabs should work the same way as for the table representation.
The default view should be configurable in the utPLSQL preferences. Additionally switching view should be possible anytime within the utPLSQL realtime reporter, e.g. via context menu (kind of radio button logic).
The configuration to show suitepath or description should apply in the tree view as well.
