I think that it is also a feasible plan, with the only dawback being
that the live website remains read-only for about one week, and that
during this period regular users will not be able to post
content/comments, create new account or edit their existing ones, etc..

I could upload the guide manually from here, but I don't know if there
were plans to put it somewhere else and did not want to step on somebody
else's toes. Those on the know, please advise.
