Nice! But in my opinion better help archiveteam with their efforts!

Definitely. And if you want to help out visit [1]. There’s options to download binaries[2] as well as source code[3] from SourceForge.

I confess my ignorance regarding archive.org's various collections. There seem to be a lot of them, which one are you referring to?

They're not a part of archive.org (just a totally separate group with similar interests, lead by Jason Scott). The specific project page is here: http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=SourceForge

The best place to pop in is probably on IRC. For the Sourceforge project it's #coldstorage on EFnet, http://chat.efnet.org:9090/?nick=&channels=%23coldstorage&Lo... for the web client. Though note, the ArchiveTeam project seems to be paused right now.

To add to this - ArchiveTeam often works with archive.org who have arranged long term storage for a lot of retrieved content.

See the response just above yours - ArchiveTeam is separate from archive.org

Agreed. This article sounds more like an advertisement for GH. Also, why not using other platforms like bitbucket? Centralizing everything at GH is the worst scenario for open source.

Bitbucket is exactly the same.

Gitlab has a community edition, and then there's Gogs, Kallithea and a few others.
