<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi!<br>
I am <br>
developing a lot of small sites with Drupal with limited <br>
activity and would like to know if there were ever discussion or needs<br>
from other "deployers" to have their Drupal website HIBERNATE <br>
for a while?<br>
<br>
Good example would be websites that: <br>
* promote events and are active only just before/during/after event, <br>
while rest of the time they have no need for interactive features and dynamic
content. <br>
Putting a static copy of website would not do it here as website<br>
goes back to active mode from time to time.<br>
* are temporarily without administrator/webmaster<br>
* that want to limit web use to a specific date/time to have people few people
that <br>
use website come together on-line in sync<br>
<br>
...hope this is not too strange and would resonate well with <br>
people who understand that web publishing could be <br>
more then networked-digitized print ;-)<br>
