Make instances statically-archivable #152

Open migurski opened 11 years ago

migurski commented 11 years ago

This is a big architectural request, sorry.

When procurement processes are completed, can a procure-io instance be statically archived to HTML? Maintaining a live database for a no-longer-used project is a potential future cost, I'd love to have a clear path toward a simple file dump with the results of the process.

I'd definitely be into giving users admins the ability to dump their site's data into a .sql file or something. The whole "no vendor lock-in" thing is very important to us.

As for HTML... I'd be open to having it generated along with the bulk download, but it's not gonna be high on the list of priorities.

Another possible approach would be to make wget-compatible, so that it was possible to walk the site with a spider and bake off a copy?

@migurski you're gonna have to show me best practices for this stuff. Definitely interested, though.

Will do! I’ll try to figure out a good time in the coming weeks to chat and make notes here on this issue.
