Hello List,

There are tools that allow web content to be 'snapshot' and converted to pdf
for preservation.  I know that some companies in the finserv space have been
using this for some time with success.  Having a pdf to reflect what was
communicated at a given point in time seems to be a reasonable approach.
Setting up the schedule for creating these images is another issue; I
suspect there are protocols around this and feature sets supported by the
vendors in this space to automate.

Subject: Question about retention of web / dynamic web pages

Greetings All - Apologies if you already saw this post on erecs-l.  I got a
recommendation to post here as well.

~~~~~~~~

For the first time in my 11 year career in RIM I've been asked to consult
about retention requirements for corporate web pages.  I've dropped hints in
various environments about this realm, but always to no avail.  There are
always "bigger fish to fry."  So there is nothing I've been able to get my
teeth into.

I've very simply followed the issue by reading the occasional article, but
this is no more than trailing a finger in the river as you float along.  So
now I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for general reading,
standards, best practices, enlightened (or otherwise) experiences with web
retention.  

I'm especially interested in how dynamically generated web information is
managed for retention purposes, as the project I am called in on will
definitely be using dynamic page generation.

The project is already underway, so I need to "wise up" quickly.  Any
insights or recommendations most welcome.
