Do you mean an update to the web site from the wiki? As far as the data
is concerned, it is stored on a reliable database (never had a problem
with it) and I do make regular backups. If on the other hand, you mean
updating the site with the wiki info, I really don't see much point to
that: It's more work and wouldn't be final anyway.
I think he meant that if anyone could download the entire wiki easily
(in an archive, for example, that was updated, say, on your backup
interval), then people would feel that its persistence was insured
by pervasiveness, and not only your steadfastness. ;-)

I agree. I look forward to your changes and additions. :-)
Thanks,
