All, I'm just musing where is the best place to store Unix documentation.
My Unix Archive is really just a filesystem, so it's not so good to
capture and search metadata.
Is anybody using archive.org, gunkies or something else, and have
recommendations?
Cheers, Warren

I know Jason Scott at archive.org <http://archive.org/> and I trust him. Bitsavers
is also, obviously, known to be good.
I don’t know who’s behind gunkies but it seems like they have good stuff.
I would say: it’s not YOUR job to organize the metadata, it’s the search engines’. Just
hosting the docs and making them available for index is probably a lot of the battle.

Gunkies.org is a wiki that is really good for pointing to stuff, and things like
tutorials, indexes and other non original stuff.
Archive.org is a great dumping ground for stuff, although it's easy to get lost in
the shuffle.
I'm not an admin on gunkies.org but I do get my email at least answered, so if you
have no luck trying to create an account I'll bug the owner to make it happen.
When I had more spare time I tried to seed gunkies with as much as I could.

I use archive.org *a lot* of times in relation with a wide number of
topics. Iam very happy with the results but I must admit that it's huge and
sometimes a bit confused. On the other hand a diverse kind of files can be
stored, mostly multimedia and pdf/ps/text. I think binary files too but not
as EXE. ISO images or similar are more usual.
