#3This is great news, I have been rather annoyed in the past when I wanted to share stuff that were on the archive publicly. The last such example I can remember was Peter Naur's reasoning that it should not be computer science, but Datalogy: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/365719.366510

#8I interviewed ACM's CEO recently on this topic, which has been shared previously: https://associationsnow.com/2022/05/the-way-things-were-why-...
Quick note: They are planning on opening the whole archive in a few years but it is still a work in progress. The plan is for 2025 for the whole archive to be opened. They released the first 50 years now in part because it timed well to the 75th anniversary.
Finally, the org's 75th anniversary livestream took place on Friday, more info about it is here: https://www.acm.org/75-celebration-event

Write a scraping program with appropriate throttling to be nice to providers with beautifulsoup on python. I have done this fairly successfully.

#10What are some precious information in ACM.org that is not possible to get another place? I mean in this age where everything is so public. Or not?
I used to have a 1 year free access to all of ACM resources. This was a gift. But I did not to anything. Maybe I lost an opportunity.
