Public bug reported:

In Mahara 1.10 the experimental feature of archiving of submissions was
implemented. Currently, an archive is always a Leap2A file. The idea
behind it was that the portfolio can be imported back into Mahara later
on for users to continue working on it.

Shane Nuessler mentioned that he has problems importing a Leap2A file
from an older version into a newer version of Mahara. That's another
issue to look into, but shows that Leap2A may not be the best format to
have for longevity. HTML files can be opened by any browser and thus are
more independent of the current Mahara site being used.

So it really depends on what you want to do with the archived
submissions: Do you want to keep it as a record for a long time or do
you want students to be able to import it back into their portfolios if
needed. Thus, it would be good if the group admin could decide to either
archive in HTML or in Leap2A.
