Welcome to the OpenWayback wiki!

OpenWayback is the open source project aimed to develop the Wayback Machine, the key software used by web archives worldwide to play back archived websites in the user's browser. OpenWayback is supported by the members of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC). For more background information, please see the General Overview page.

If you want to keep in touch with what's going on, you should join the OpenWayback development mailing list.
