Greg, Tobias, Judy, and others who shared their concerns: Because of the fact that an automated archival would run the risk of loosing content needed on a daily basis (or in a "historic perspective"), the gardening group has given up on that procedure. Instead, we will come forward with a new proposal how to get to a cleaner, more efficient documentation for adopters and developers. Expect to hear from us.
