Archivist launches database to preserve Magic: The Gathering writing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Gregor Stocks, a software engineer, has launched the Library of Leng, a searchable database dedicated to preserving articles about the game Magic: The Gathering. The project aims to combat internet churn by archiving old usenet posts, website content, and publisher announcements that are often lost over time. Stocks developed custom tools to parse the varied and often unformatted data from the early internet, and the response from the Magic community and authors has been overwhelmingly positive. AI

IMPACT Niche archival project with minimal direct impact on AI operations.
