The Software Heritage initiative has the stated goal to collect, organise, preserve, and share all the source code of the software that is publicly available.

This is an ambitious goal that starts from protecting the past, in the spirit of many other digital preservation initiatives, and focuses on providing the best information to software users and developers in the present, in order to improve our future.

This wiki provides the central hub for all the public, collaboratively-maintained information about the Software Heritage project.
