Software preservation must consider knowledge management as a key challenge. We suggest a concep-tualization of software preservation approaches that are available at different stages of the software lifecycle and can support memory institutions to assess the current state of software items in their collection, the capabilities of their infrastructure, and completeness and applicability of knowledge that is required to successfully steward the collec-tion.

@ivan @dajb That's an interesting feature but indeed is confusing when the user interface looks like something could be changed. I ran into this misunderstanding with "pages". For users that cannot change settings a more tabular display would be better, perhaps like Mediawiki lists installed extensions?

@despens The threading works ok, but the [-] and [+] widgets to fold and unfold thread branches is not that great because they're not used to add or remove something, just to show and hide nested items. I'd suggest using the classic caret instead like it is common for directory structures
