Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
NodeInfo
NodeInfo is an effort to create a standardized way of exposing metadata about a server running one of the distributed social networks.

History
NodeInfo emerged from it's predecessor /statistics.json that was added
to the diaspora* software to be able to built a statistics collection and
aggregation service, it was quickly supported by Friendica and RedMatrix.
As more and more metadata was added and modifications occurred that would
break backward compatibility, we felt the need to make this a more coordinated
effort.
