Hi,

That's not the case anymore. One of the nice things we've added recently was an export tool ('indico event export' command from your favourite shell) that allows you to export a ZIP with all the conference files and metadata. This archive can be restored in any other Indico server.

Cheers,

Pedro

This is great if I am willing to install and run my own Indico server for archive purposes, but then I have to manage it and keep it up to date. From an archivist’s perspective I’d much rather get a tree full of simple HTML and media files that I can throw somewhere under an Apache web-root, maybe with some .js for client-side niceties but with no need to run server-side smarts at all.

I admit to being a bit of a pack-rat, but I have conference and mailing-list archives from my community dating back to the mid-1990s...

OK, then I misunderstood what you meant. Anyway, that exists too - there's a feature called "Offline copy" that lets you do exactly that. The result should be 100% self-contained and static.
