Drupal legacy? 2024-2044

Use Drupal 10 and continue to upgrade it.

I also to a large extent, do not understand what you are really asking.

The issue title says 2024-2044, there is a screenshot I don’t fully understand, and the summary says 2025. That’s next year—satisfiable by Drupal 10.

Are you asking about static site solutions?

Drupal is 23 years old today, so barring a catastrophic world event, I expect Drupal to still exist (or at least there to be enough of a historical record of it), in another 20 years time.

Thanks for the reply (typo corrected) this is a broad enquiry and as such this may not be the place for it (apols). My request boils down to
IF DRUPAL.org was contacted in twenty years time with a memory stick containing the files and db from a drupal 10 install. What extra info / files could we include to ensure this does not become another ‘lost’ digital resource

This issue is essentially unanswerable. You can prove this by asking an insurance company to underwrite the project on the principle that Drupal exists in 20 years. You can diligently upgrade Drupal for as long as it exists. You can create a static HTML archive of the site. You or your client could fully fund the Drupal Association for 20 years.

That’s useful thanks. This is to identify things we can do relatively easily even if the site is not Drupal so thank you

By what technical process would a USB stick contact Drupal.org today?

You may have a more meaningful discussion in the #support channel in Slack.
