I'm curious about what this is getting after. Can you provide more details for the uninitiated?

Hi Ed - Copying in from a spreadsheet that came out of our meeting in Paris last year. I'm going to ask for more details on our call tomorrow for these issues.

Hi Ed - I've remembered what this is. Basically the task is, make wayback work for facebook, twitter & youtube. There was discussion of the possibility of distributing prepackaged hacks for heritrix & wayback to make these sites work. But obviously this ticket needs to be fleshed out.

Got it, thanks! Btw, are the openwayback calls open to others interested developers?

Has there been any updates on this? For example Archive.org will handle XenForo forums fine, but when I do it in OpenWayback the page links, which are both actual links and Javascript hooks, don't take you to the pages you click on (unless you open in a new tab using middle click or a context menu). They produce console output clearly indicating the issue is missing or malfunctioning Javascript.

Openwayback has been largely in maintenance mode for the last few years and hasn't gained significant features. For better JavaScript support it may be worth trying Pywb which is currently regarded as having the most effective replay capability: https://github.com/webrecorder/pywb

I guess it's obvious to everyone already, but perhaps worth pointing out, that archive.org do not actually use OpenWayback. Their playback application is not open source.

Ah I had no idea.
