We've been pushing really hard over the last 6mo to develop this release. I'd love to hear feedback from people who've worked on big plugin systems in the past, or anyone who's tried our betas!

The subline mentions "Auto-login", but the article never elaborates on this. Does this mean we will be able to more easily archive non-public websites?

Also, how do you plan to ensure data authenticity across a distributed archive? For example, if I archive someone's blog, what is stopping me from inserting inflammatory posts that they never wrote, and passing them off as the real deal? Slight update: I see you're using TLS Notary! That's exactly what I would have suggested!

Auto log in is currently a service I provide for paying clients, and you can do it in the open source version manually with some extra config.

Working hard on making it more accessible in the future, and plugins should help!
