Archive Protocol
- A series of protocols for the MMD&C Archive
The MMD&C staff wants you to present your work in a standalone and archivable mode, independent from the wiki or any other medium.
In all assessments credits are given for the delivery of your work, in a standalone and archivable manner, not for its presentation.
'What follow is an overview of the Archive Cycle and a recipe on What and How to Archive for an easy delivery on your work.
