Description

We archive the source code of many beautiful projects.
It is important to be able to showcase a selection of these projects, in a dedicated section of our website.

rdicosmo created this task.

This is an amazing idea,

Personally, I was inspired to work with software heritage when I saw this video, and specifically, the part where @rdicosmo shows the Apollo 11 code.
Having a section like this will inspire more and more people to join this initiative to archive the code present all over the world.

There is a proverb in the Hindi language,Jungle me moor nacha kisne dekhe. That means if a beautiful peacock is dancing in a dense forest, then it is all in vain because there is no one to see it and appreciate its beauty.

The same case is here; we have some code historical importance present somewhere in the dense forest of all the code we have archived. To make it stand out and so that world can see it and get inspired we need to present in a well-organised way in a separate section(as correctly named like a "museum"). I have high hopes for this idea.

Is there any way I can help in the completion of this task?

Hi Archit,

sorry for the ultra-late reply, this message has been on the stack for a

while :-)

I'm grateful for your contribution via GSoC and delighted to see you share
our passion.

If you still have a bit of time to dedicate to the "museum" aspect of
the project, let me know, and we'll definitely reach out to you as soon as
the work starts!
