Note: the SQL database is built by parsing a flat-file database, so there is already a flat version for preservation. But the current search is optimized using Sphinx, and I'm not technically sophisticated enough to know how that would work if it were no longer a PHP site.

Now at @DH2022_Tokyo very excited to hear Greg Newton and Martin Holmes from @EndingsProject talk about how big they can make static sites. I'm wondering whether it would be possible to flatten #londonstagedatabase, which allows faceted search of 52,000+ pages... #dh2022
