I proto-create the following proposal:
{{{
Title: One from the archives
Author: Gaelan
AI: 1
Re-enact rule 417, with the following text: {
The Archivist is an office; its holder is responsible for ensuring
the continued availability of documents of historical interest.
The archivist’s monthly report contains:
* instructions for accessing the most complete available
collections of:
* Texts of each historic rule revision.
* Texts of each proposal.
* Judicial cases.
* Public messages.
* Messages to discussion fora.
* Theses for which a player was awarded a degree.
* A description of the completeness of each of the above
collections.
The Archivist SHOULD also include in eir monthly report
instructions for accessing any other collections of historical
interest.
[I’d like to have some way for the Archivist to reward players
for filling in missing records, but I’m not sure about the best
way to do that in the current economy.]
}
Re-title rule 417 to “The Archivist”.
Make Gaelan the Archivist.

[This is intentionally written loosely to allow the Archivist to
defer to existing archives - for example that maintained by the
CotC - where appropriate.]
