Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

This is a redux of #731 which was put on hold until a need for width awareness was found. I'd say this is a decent justification for bringing it back
Wrapping strings with fullwidth chars

Here's the same string being typed before and after width awareness:
New method to fix cursor position:
When we put a 2-column character at the end of the line where there's only 1 column of room, curtsies adds a padding character (space) so we can kick it down to the line below. Therefore, in order to get the right cursor position, I had to add a method that determines how many padding chars there are (
number_of_padding_chars_on_current_cursor_line).Note on this method: Right now, to determine the amount of padding, it calls
display_linize, doubling the amount of times we call that function. It's definitely possible to keep track of this as a variable in the repl class instead, or to do some changes other to ensure less redundant work is done. Feedback appreciated.Runtime
One of the barriers stopping us from implementing this before was runtime . I did not find any noticeable difference when pasting, printing, or moving my cursor around large strings.
