I was wondering if you were aware of archiveteam.org and whether there
was any contact prior to the shututdown so they can make sure to preserve
a historical archive.  See https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Trac
and https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveBot - who I believe

People with an interest in software archaeology today or in the future
might appreciate if the original data (tracdb) or at least an archive of
the web interface to it could be preserved fro history.  Undoubtedly INN
had huge significance in the development of UseNet and the Internet, and
it might be more relevant to preserve its history than the history of
many other FOSS projects.

Best Regards, and happy new year to everyone,
	Harald
