The permanent archive is the immutable aspect of the permanent wiki. The aim is to create a publishing medium for wiki. It is designed to store immutable assets such as images, video and audio together with standard single page sites, and finalise json data.
# Objectives
A core objective of the Permanent Archive is to store online assets so that are easy to recover. To do this we look to use an archive file naming convention.
- Recover Lost Assets - Discover Versions of Media Assets - Loose Coupling of IPFS - One Big Wiki - Paragraph Level Atomicity
When the assets are created, they will first be placed in a conventional filing system on the wiki server, using a filing system structure as follows, illustrated for a wiki under domain name outlandish.academy:
outlandish.academy assets css img js media
An asset will be placed in the appropriate sub-directory based on its mime type. The Fedwiki Assets Plugin now supports direct uploading of files from the desktop to this location. Next we need to consider how this relates to assets in ipfs and the wider goal of creating an anthropological archive.
