Easy administration mode for Alaveteli sites #4913

Open RichardTaylor opened 5 years ago

RichardTaylor commented 5 years ago

If a site doesn't have the resources required to administer the site for a period, one could envisage an "easy administration" mode which the site could be placed in.

In such a mode the site could:

The latter two points are aimed at reducing requests from people asking for their names to be removed from the site.

Having such a mode could be used for fund-raising / seeking volunteers - campaigns could be more credibly linked to enabling the service to continue if there was a system in place for ~"turning it off".

Putting a site into such a mode for a period of time could be a precursor to putting it into a static archive mode - from which a static copy could be obtained.
