Flush LRU items out of their letter slot, into an archive.

Well, bakery/2 is getting pretty crowded now that it has appeared on Memepool. Don't want to lose the old info, maybe it's time to start archiving.

The Internet Archive Project http://www.archive.org/
Extensive archive of the HB. [BinaryCookies, Sep 07 2002]

Archived list of all of our ideas as of August 15, 2000 (no earlier available) http://web.archive..../index-by-name.html
Ironically, it's where I found this idea. Looks like fewer than 500. We have well over 50,000 ideas today and I wouldn't call it crowded. [notexactly, Apr 08 2019]

Don't have to archive it in a hierarchial way...maybe a networked/relational way? Admittedly, categories have to be expanded...how many end up under "Other"? Good example is what the site to the left has got. There's a SiteBrain too.

Some things have to be reshuffled, though. The idea called "Josh" is a pretty good example.

What's wrong with Josh?
-- jutta, Mar 09 2000


Nothing, but it seems to be a mistake - Josh thought the "Name" field meant HIS name, not the name of the idea. I almost made that mistake too.

As for the cone trees, well heck, we can bring Vennevar and the memex into this discussion too. I simply suggested SiteBrain because it's useable - and available.
-- quanta, Mar 09 2000


Oh, of course! Thanks for explaining the Josh thing.

The brain looks cute, but patenting a graph editor in 2000 is just plain silly.

When starting out, I've thought about doing something similar to the Java graph applet, but just didn't find a solution that looked good, was easy to interact with, and loaded quickly.
-- jutta, Mar 09 2000


would it be possible to archive along the lines of the way mempool do it? Have a few very loose categories and dump everything that has not been updated since a set date to its respective category page. You could maybe even allow items to be linked to a maximum of (say) 3 different categories.
-- rob, Mar 16 2000


I agree that categories suck. What about a "rank by annotation"? The number and length of annotations should be somewhat correlated with interest (if not quality!).

V_e_r_y cool halfbakery archive.
-- thumbwax, Sep 08 2002


as I see it, it is just a snapshot. am I wrong?

what was so special about April 2001?
-- po, Sep 08 2002


I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that archive of my ideas. I prefer they stayed gone.
