Description
Hello GitHub Archive Program Team, I am an archive enthusiast and have been checking in on this project from time to time. However, it seems that the archiveprogram.github.com website hasn't been updated since 2020, which is now 6 years ago.
As you mentioned in the FAQ and Approach pages:
We plan to evaluate the program, and the state of the art of archival technology, every five years. Depending on the results of each evaluation, we may then decide to take another snapshot of GitHub's public code and archive it in cold storage.
I was wondering if the five-year evaluation has taken place, and whether there might be any updates on the program's future plans?
Also, if possible, it might be a good idea to regularly post a heartbeat article on the website every 5 years to keep everyone informed about the project's status?
Happy World Backup Day!
