Thanks for writing that.  It points in the direction I'm hoping we can go.


Perhaps it will help to have a fairly simple summary statement of the 
steady-state goals for this?


I said "museum quality" as a facile way to distinguish from simple 
backup or normal computer archive. But what are the technical and 
operational requirements?  The reference to 500 years is helpful.

This probably needs to levels of statement.  The first is a summary of 
affirmative goals and the nature of threats/problems to protect against.

The second might be a statement of technical approaches considered most 
promising to aid in sustaining the goals.
