Epoxy's Archive Format
There are two priorities: archives should be easy to create, and remain useful far into the future. A distant third goal is discoverability on this site.
An archive is a folder
(or ZIP archive)
with two files and two directories.
./
├── README.txt
├── metadata.json
├── climbing-guide/
└── supplement/
The README.txt file
This is written for future climbing developers. There's a range of things that can be useful to touch on.
- context for the guide (where it came from or how it was found)
- quirks in formatting or content
This is an archive of a rock climbing guide.
NOTE: page 6 of the guide is missing
The photos were found as images on a blog post[1] from 2007
(see supplement/screenshot.png).
The blog post was found in a comment[2] on MountainProject.
