Few weeks ago, for school project I had to use Google API to create certain potentially useful application. So after short thinking I decided to create web archiving software. And therefore the origin of the name SWAT aka. Simple Web Archive sofTware .

Project source code is accessible on the google code. You have to understand that not the very last version of source code is provided. Since the project ended I rewrote certain parts of code. Predominantly regarding upload of files. Which are now stored on server for very brief period of time before being uploaded to Google servers. Also the procedure of uploading is now more reliable and since project was officially finished before Google decided to allow uploading all types of files. I had to work trough and fix certain issues. Mostly because of speedy programming

Project preview is available on my local server.

Now what is this all about. Well, basically it offers almost all of functionality as Google Docs. With a bit of twist. We integrated statistics and calendar for storing certain data. Both functions are not yet integrated in public server version.Reasons for this are numerous but the main one being there was no time to debug all possible exceptions and errors that might occur in public version.

Also probably the most important feature that SWAT allows to you is that you can keep track of your revisions. For example. You would upload document to Google Docs and later you would change it on your local machine. Now when you upload it again to Google docs you will have completely new document. What SWAT allows you is to update document you already have updated with new version, and simply keep track of changes with revision history.

Currently download is disabled due to server resources and certain complications that still occur in format conversions. I expect that all of these problems will be regulated when protocol version 3 exits lab.

Modular design allows also for possible integration in desktop application with little effort. Which would have ability to synchronize chosen folder on your local machine with folder on Google docs.

Note that sometimes Google services are a bit slow and it will take time to refresh data available so even when you upload document you might wait certain time before it gets deleted. Or when you upload document, it will pass few minutes before it becomes available trough service interface and therefore visible in archive preview.

Questions, ideas, suggestions basically everything just put it in comments. I will read it gladly.
