The reason for archiving that repo is that I no longer use it to feed content into the website. Having a WordPress based website that is publicly accessible caused way too many hacking attacks.
I am now maintaining the web content rather differently - it's not a great setup, but the result is a static web site that performs MUCH better and is by definition much harder to hack for attackers.

Rainer Mohr, the maintainer of divelogs.de <http://divelogs.de/> is a good friend of the Subsurface project and works with us closely. I always felt that there wasn't really any point in us duplicating all the amazing work that he has done there.
We do have a way to access the cloud data via the web (cloud.subsurface-divelog.org <http://cloud.subsurface-divelog.org/>) which is rather basic and could use some help - this is implemented through the export-html app that is part of the source tree.
Also, there is dives-share.appspot.com <http://dives-share.appspot.com/> which was build by a Subsurface contributor to allow you to share your dives in a different way...
