I did find this , which at least mentions the project in the context of MST3K.   Is it possible that a merge could be done to Mystery_Science_Theater_3000#Fandom ?

Here is a source I found about the subject: Weiner, Robert G. ; Barba, Shelley, eds.  (2014).  In the Peanut Gallery with Mystery Science Theater 3000: Essays on Film, Fandom, Technology and the Culture of Riffing .  Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company .  pp. 11 , 73 , 81 , 216 .  ISBN 978-0-7864-4532-5 .  Retrieved 2023-04-17 – via Google Books .  The book notes on page 11 : "Twenty years after the little puppet show aired and ten years after its cancellation, MST3K is more popular than ever. Riffing has become its own cultural phenomenon. One can find hundreds of websites related to the show, tape and DVD traders abound, and nearly all of the episodes (including some of the KTMA shows which hopefully will see official release someday) are preserved at the Digital Archive Project in varying degrees of quality."  The book notes on page 73 : "The third way of reference-explaining sites blends the collaboration of discussion forums with the ease of use of annotation pages. By allowing anyone to contribute to the site, they avoid the problem of burnout, and draw on the broad base of knowledge of their many contributors. The Distributed MST3K Annotation Project (n.d.) is an offshoot of one of the most popular sites for episode trading, The Digital Archive Project ."  The book notes on page 81 : "Even so, several of those Rhino Home DVD releases gently mock the FBI warnings against privacy and unauthorized distribution by adorning them with an image of J. Edgar Hoover that has been festooned with graffiti, a choice which is yet another example of their tendency to "scribble in the margins" (see Figure 1). They have even turned a blind eye to the virtual tape traders using peer-to-peer sharing software at the Digital Archive Project , so long as episodes that are available for purchase on either DVD or VHS remain unavailable for download ("Digital Archive Project FAQ" 2002)."  The book notes on page 216 : "While I have said that the "circulation" of MST episodes is today dominated by the "second stage" web vendors, it might already be more accurate to say that most new fans actually obtain their episodes through the Digital Archive Project (DAP), a fan collective which aims to make all MST episodes available at all times through bitTorrent, a hugely popular program which allows users to share files with, essentially, anyone online."
