dweb-archive

Which has a rather lengthy section explaining why it's currently a failed experiment: https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-archive/blob/master/... (this doc is 5-6 years old though, and I'm not sure what may have changed since then) In my own (toy-scale) IPFS experiments a couple years ago it has been rather usable, but also the software has been utterly insane for operators and users, and if I were IA I would only consider it if I budgeted for a from-scratch rewrite (of the stuff in use). Nearly uncontrollable and unintrospectable and high resource use for no apparent reason.

Done. It is called IPFS. The IA already supports it. https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-archive/blob/master/...

How does one contribute? In the article you linked: > there is no information on how users can get involved in the decentralized version of Archive.org and who the peers are that are distributing the content. The other link doesn't mention how people could help host data either. If there is a way, then it seems like more of a marketing issue if those willing are unaware or unable to figure out how. I can't find any actionable steps on how to contribute. edit - it seems the dweb version was a frontend for archive.org testing serving IA content over alternative protocols. It was never finished or expanded on unfortunately. Links to it are dead but here's the github repo https://github.com/internetarchive/dweb-archive
