In order to prevent having more settings that a staff member may not
know how best to choose, it would be best if we archive both the Leap2A
and the HTML export. Then the portfolio can be imported into Mahara
easily but at the same time it would be available as HTML for long-term
storage without having to make an either or decision on the part of the
group admin.

** Summary changed:

- Group admin decides whether to archive submissions as Leap2A or HTML
+ Archive submissions in both Leap2A and HTML

Title:
  Archive submissions in both Leap2A and HTML

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
