  • Title: Increase archive coverage
  • Description: As Software Heritage works on archiving and sharing source code, one of the major tasks is to ingest the latest source code available in the database from time to time and from all the possible sources where you can fetch the source code using listers and ingest them using loaders. Listers are components that crawl the APIs of software forges (e.g., Bitbucket, Gitorious, Sourceforge, ...) and return a list of the software available in it whereas Loaders take a bundle of software (tarball, Git repository ...) and load it into Software Heritage, by adapting it so that it matches the archive data model. The goal of this project is to increase the archive coverage by making listers and loaders for different websites that which stores source code, so that Software Heritage can fetch as much source code as possible and store it in the database to preserve it for future generations.
