Gordon, Are you guys going to tell us how much data was collected in the end? I also note that the crawler stepped off .nz and went after links that were in .nz pages. eg. This page has links in it to pointclark.net which were also crawled. http://www.crra.org.nz/content/view/17/7/ Cheers Don Gordon Paynter wrote:

Hi Tony:

The archived material will be hosted at the National Library in New Zealand (i.e. in our machine room).

I'll update the FAQ with this information when I get a chance.

My question would be, who will hold this archived material long term ? I sincerely hope it will be physically (and diversely) stored and served in New Zealand not stored at a faceless overseas company that can change ownership, collapse or be otherwise invaded. If we are paying to have this material preserved (which IMHO is entirely appropriate), it needs to be here in a government owned (or suitably contracted and legally covered private) repository. This is the only way to ensure that it will survive long term.
