I am seriously interested in this! Also, a side note, I would love to see some info or relateable content about what the community driven aspect will look like. Infographics or pictures about previous editions and contributors would give me an idea what the community was like. |

Dear all,
We are excited to kick off the 2024 Web Almanac and invite contributions to this year's edition! This year together with @cqueern, we are going to lead this project. If you want to know more about the changes this year, please read this section.

Non-technical
Feel free to propose new chapters in the comments that you believe would complement the 2024 Web Almanac.
What’s new this year?
The project has been greatly maintained by the HTTPArchive’s core team until now and we are thankful for their great effort. However, managing the Web Almanac project demands a considerable amount of time. Thus, it is not sustainable to have only a few people overseeing such an extensive project. That's why we are transitioning the project management of the Web Almanac to be more community-driven, with distributed responsibilities.
The progression of the project remains consistent with previous years, which means we will continue employing the same strategies and tools. The primary changes are focused on project management.
Organizing Committee
We are excited to share the initial structure of this year's organizing committee. The committee is still being formed, and we will provide a complete list of members soon.
Virtual Conference
Upon the completion of this year's edition, we plan to organize a virtual conference where contributors can present their findings.
Awards
This year, awards will be given to the best chapter(s). The Prize Chair will oversee this process. Stay tuned for more details on the award process.
Non-technical Chapter
We believe that there is huge potential for content analysis using HTTPArchive data. To delve into this domain, we are introducing a non-technical section. Our goal is to uncover insights into various trends — social, economic, political, and technical — reflected in the webpage content we crawl and evaluate. Methodologies like language models (e.g., BERT) offer promising opportunities for such analysis. More details can be found on the chapter's page, inviting contributions to explore these.
Deadlines
We have set the following deadlines:
We kindly invite @HTTPArchive/almanac-contributors to the success of this year's edition!
We look forward to your contributions and are excited to collaborate on another successful edition of the Web Almanac!
