It is not easy to set up an archiving system as the maintenance costs
can be quite high. Someone would also have to find volunteers to do
the work. The approach of the local groups is to attract university
students. The students unfortunately lack the technical skills to do
the work. It might take over a year to mentor a student who is
interested in having an adequate level of technical skills.
I prefer not to do much about internet makers as it could conflict
with my non-local responsibilities. That does not mean that other
people should not do that.
