I want to have a public version of aC so that everyone internally can see the status of our projects and, more importantly, my internal web crawler can index the projects so they can be searched.

I have used the export function to manually export a project. I commented out line 401 in ProjectExportOutputBuilder.class.php in the activecollab\application\modules\project_exporter\models folder so the files don;t get deleted after compression. It works great.

I would like to do this either automatically or by pressing just one button. Anyone else do this? Am I going about creating a public, read -only view of aC the wrong way?

I understand that I am defeating some security measures but I want everyone to see what is going on but only allow a few users to actually add information.
