On a vaguely related note, looking at http://penguicon.org/archive

Year 1.0 was static HTML, easily archived, and it looks nice.  (I miss that 
theme.)

Year 2.0: A hybrid between static and database.  It still used the year 1 
theme (a header #include rather than a stylesheet).  Initially it wasn't 
archived, but I made a large fuss about this at the time and some of it got 
archived, although most of the links are broken, including the graphic at the 
top of the main page.  For more, try clicking on "penguicon audio" on the 
left (and yes I complained about how the URL was insanely long and 
complicated, got a shortcut, but that never made it into the navigation or 
the archive).  Now the point of the exercise, the actual audio files this 
gives a list of?  All 404.  I have copies if anyone needs them...

Year 3.0: Fully database.  And not a page of it's online, except maybe at 
archive.org.

Year 4.0: ditto.

I realize it's probably too late to do anything about it, but it's still sad.  
One of the big advertisements for Penguicon is the cool stuff we did in 
previous years.

Oh well.
