Summary: We're tidying up the site so as to make it easier to find past material (by clustering topics programmatically)

THIS site is turning 13 in autumn. The IRC channels are over a decade old as well. We have over 5 GB of text in this site (spread across three content management systems) and it has gotten hard to find some things.

A programmer who avidly uses the site has decided to make this list of blog URLs (there are about 25,000 of them in total) and is analysing the contents of all posts using computer programs that take hours to run. The results will soon be made available in the Wiki and maybe, taking bandwidth into account, we shall also make static copies of the site available for download (e.g. for offline reading). Sometimes one needs to pause and tidy up past work. This is what's happening at the moment (the programmability of it is limited as it's keywords-based rather than syntactic). Updates on this and some early results will hopefully be available soon. ⬆
