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.

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.
