What is the Ever Backward?

The Ever Backward is meant to be a coalition of people who have used or still use old technology, specifically software, and wish for that work to perpetuate into the new century. While the usefulness of the software on its own might be diminished, the historcal importance of that work remains. By banding together and sharing resources and efforts, a very large amount of older software will be categorized and left for others to revisit.

Is there something I can do?

What's needed are for people (or teams of people) to stake out claims on sets of software for specific machines, or collections of software from a specific subculture or group. The term "software" is pretty general and can mean most any type of computer aspect, including textfiles, disk magazines, or sets of utilities/tools.
