That wasn't my suggestion, but I can understand your desire to do that. Perhaps just taking a static snapshot using something like wget, and hosting that on the R-project website would be a good compromise. > E.g., I currently have the "problem" that since both Kurt and myself > are no longer at TU Wien, we cannot guarantee how long > www.ci.tuwien.ac.at will be up and running, and we were talking last > week about moving the old DSC webpages to the server at WU running > www.R-project.org.

The one problem is setting up a redirect so that existing links and google searches aren't broken. This would need to be put in place at least 6 months before the old website closed.
