Definitely. I want to search through my archive and I'm doing it - 
that's very important (at least for me). Archived project are my 
knowledge base...

I think it's super easy - it's wiki! So let's create some namespaces.

The archive function in Thunderbird is super easy - just press 'a' and 
the message will be moved to Archive/2015 folder (automatically 
created). But there are by principle no duplicates which we could have 
in Zim.

We have some 'Date' namespace (Calendar plugin). So let's have an 
'Archive' namespace a let the user choose the way s/he wants to organize 
the items within - daily, monthly, weekly:

Archive:2015:08:01:Foo parent:Foo child 1
Archive:2015:08:02:Foo parent:Foo child 1

It's a kind of versioning. I think you cannot just rename the page 
because there could be some other data (folder) as well. We want to 
archive the stuff but not to alter it. So let's move it to a structure.

(If you decide to archive one page, then to create it again and then to 
archive it again - you'll have a namespace conflict. You'll have to wait 
one day ;-))

I'd like to see some automatic way to organize items in the archive 
(like Thunderbird does). I'll use it few times a month so I'll be happy 
with a month namespace Archive:2015:08:Foo

What do you think?
