I think these 2 are separate and both useful:
- Keep the original data in a lossless form so that it can later be inserted
into some discussion system, whether Snowdrift's or other
- Maintain a publicly accessible view of the data, with emphasis on trivial
maintenance
One way to do it would be:
- Keep the DB on the server and/or export it on some form, SQL or JSON etc.,
for use later when time comes
- Use wget or httrack or something like that to create a plain HTML read-only
version of the site and make nginx serve it directly, no web app needed
I'm not sure the latter is better than running snowdrift in an archive.
subdomain though. Just suggesting a possible alternative.
