I launched Arkivo earlier today, in its first incarnation at least. It was written originally to archive the happenings in #turbogears on Freenode but there is already another channel using the service, #foresight - the channel for the Foresight Linux distribution. Any other channels on Freenode that need archiving are more than welcome to be added to the list. Email me to have the bot join your channel.
Happily, everything seems to be ticking over nicely. I still have quite a few features planned including searchable archives, direct linking to individual messages (obviously in the flow of the conversation, so it’s in context), automatic creation of clickable links (which is harder than it sounds when using Kid) and a few other bits and pieces that I’m going to keep under my hat in case they don’t actually see the light of day.
Hopefully I’ll have a Trac/SVN instance up soon, subject to server load. Failing that I may take a look around for a hosted option, I’ll just have to see how it pans out after a few days of arkivo being up along with the other sites I’m hosting.
