Just as you can get a snapshot of wikipedia and store on your PC (or even PDA), it occurred to me that a snapshot of the OESF forum would be a very useful thing if combined with free text search.
There's a huge amount of wisdom on it (a lot of which should be in the wiki, but isn't), and so an archive would be a real asset. The low-graphics version of course would be best, but provided the archive was created without the attachments, it'd be OK as there'd be only one copy of the site. I did try a speed-throttled wget once, but it wasn't too satisfactory. ![]() Any chance of considering being able to do this on the server itself and make a monthly snapshot downloadable in .zip or .tar.bz2? Some of us could burn CDs or DVDs to send to people without broad-band. thanks Paul |

I've just had a thought... what's the limit on the number of files in the same directory on a fat32 memory card? Would the forum archive actually be storable on flash?

QUOTE(speculatrix @ Nov 15 2006, 01:29 PM) I've just had a thought... what's the limit on the number of files in the same directory on a fat32 memory card? Would the forum archive actually be storable on flash? I don't think this should be a problem really, since you probably should put it into a squashfs archive anyway and mount it on the Z. That way you'll save on space bigtime, because this is mostly text. |
