Now that the Archive of Our Own is humming along on new, more powerful servers (thank you, fandom!), members of the Archive team have begun fleshing out a list of concrete and not-so-concrete tasks needed to make fanart hosting a reality!

Voting now open! Name the AO3 servers!

Submitted by Lucy Pearson on

It's time to name the AO3 servers! We had a whole host of wonderful nominations, and our nominations committee have spent many hours collating them and whittling them down to a shortlist. We're excited by the fannish diversity represented in this range of names.

Voting will be open until 22 March 2011, and we'll announce the winners shortly thereafter.

A Week in the Life of a Tag Wrangler

Submitted by .Helka Lantto on

Written by Franzeska Dickson

Tag wranglers are our biggest pool of volunteers, with over 100 wranglers around the world working to organise the Archive's 100,000+ tags. The wranglers put in a varying amount of work, each wrangler deciding for themselves how much time they can dedicate to wrangling. We now profile a week in the life of one of our... more dedicated wranglers...

AO3作品库

我们正在编写“OTW作品库”开源程序包，让同人爱好者能够自己架设功能完备的作品库。这一作品库能为上万同人小说和其他同人作品提供平台，而且还有社交功能，便于同人爱好者通过作品相互交流。

OTW组织正是以此程序搭建了AO3（Archive of our Own）作品库。AO3作品库是一个非商业性、非营利性的同人作品托管网站。在这里，同人作品能得到OTW组织提供的版权保护，并且能从OTW宣传同人作品的社会价值与合法性的工作中收益。

自2008年10月开始，AO3作品库开放了测试版。具体内容请参见常见问题网页，以下是详细的开发计划：

OTW作品库开发计划

此计划会随着我们的进度不断修改。它只是作品库程序开发的大体计划，作为我们的目标和引导。许多细节都可能有变动，尤其等我们有了测试人员之后。另外，请注意版本号仅供内部使用，我们以此作为检查点，确保工作分阶段有条不紊的进行。第一个向公众开放的版本是1.0。

Reminder: extended Archive downtime today

Submitted by Lucy Pearson on

The Archive of our Own will be down for maintenance today, Thursday 10 February, from c. 18.00 UTC, for approximately 6 hours (What time is this where I am?).

Today is the day of the new servers! Our colocation host has run some new power lines for our hungry beasts, and moved our trusty old servers into the rack with the shiny new ones. Today, we'll be switching over to actually using the new servers!

Namensfindungsfestival für die neuen Server!

Submitted by Lucy Pearson on

Dank der ungeheuren Großzügigkeit des Fandoms konnten wir die Server für das Eigene Archiv aufrüsten. Zu unseren ursprünglichen beiden Server gesellen sich vier weitere, die mehr Speicherplatz, mehr Kraft und mehr Schnelligkeit bringen, alles bezahlt durch die Spenden von Fans an die OTW. Wir meinen: das muss gefeiert werden!
