Books printed on paper can survive for hundreds of years. How long could a web project of this type survive?
This is completely unknown because it is impossible to predict future advances in technology or collapses of civilizations. However, LINMO-compatible content is very flexible because of its simplicity, including the fact that it is text-based, and is thus likely quite suitable for use long into the future as the web continues to evolve and new generations of technology emerge. Perhaps the most important factors in long-term survival are that LINMO-compatible web sites are focused on developing high quality content that is useful to large numbers of people and that is easy to update. Such sites, or at least their content, will likely continue to exist for much longer than will sites that have little content, even if they only survive in some primitive form such as printouts on paper.
