Update on DRG on the Internet Archive

A note from Jared on the status of the migration to the Internet Archive:
I spoke with the guy at the Internet Archive who is supposed to get the data moved over. He unfortunately has been caught up on their September 11th archive project.
When I pushed for a time frame of when he could get the data moved to a real web server he said, “a few days to a week”.
At that point it will basically just be an index page with folders to download the files.
I’ve also started sending them metadata so that they will show up in their website search. On my end, I need to go through all the data and take a better inventory of anything that might be missing.
But my for basic access to the data, my fingers are crossed for within a week.

Thanks for update! Freaking Glenn is a drama queen with his “concern for the GIS community”.
The National Geospatial Data Archive (NGDA-http://www.ngda.org/) is also archiving geospatial data. Although I am not sure about the volume of data they are addressing at this point.
hey “infran”, byte me dude. I simply asked Jared a question, got ignored and was curious. Given that we bought data to support his efforts I was simply wondering what was up… don’t shoot the messenger man and lighten up
