This proposal will present the project goal of idea 5, which is to integrate the web-monitoring software into the Wayback Machine and help to further advance it, and how this can be achieved. More specifically, the following solutions are suggested as part of the implementation plan: making the login screen optional, querying the CDX server and not the web-monitoring-db, implementing a mechanism for making changes to the UI easily, improving the code so it is able to handle a lot more data, using The Wayback Machine's calendar to present a webpage capture's dates, and keeping only the required project components. In addition, this proposal contains a link to a server hosting my implementation of some of the proposed solutions. Apart from that, a timeline that presents a rough plan of how the project would be implemented is included. Last but not least, biographical information is provided.
