permastore

I was excited by the addition of a notice to Xanadu.com announcing plans for running a Permastore for the WWW.

One thing I have noticed recently is that much of the most informative content on the WWW is on school servers (colleges, universities, even high school and lower), and of course as soon as the owner of the account graduates/leaves, the account is closed and that content is gone. There are tons of broken links that used to point to students' (and faculty's) old personal web pages.

And the incredibly short half life of WWW pages in general -- especially personal pages, but also newspapers and other big companies that for some reason re-organize their whole site system every few years or moths -- is very distressing.

So
1. What are some ideas we could come up with for helping school and university students and employees in particular (as one of the more prolific subsets of web publishers, and creators of fairly quality stuff) make more permanent web pages?
	2. Is Xanadu.com's permastore project going anywhere?
