From this material, we compiled a list of frequently asked questions with the typical answers we provide.
E.g.: what is software source code? why archiving software source code? how do you decide what to archive? do you also archive binaries? hey, the Library of Alexandria went up in flames, how do you plan to avoid this happening to you? etc. etc.
