 * Many websites are now required to meet archive and ediscovery laws. Your plugin
   is pretty close to meeting those needs. There are a couple of things that would
   be needed for us to use with our clients.
 * Interface for non administrator lever users such as an Editor or Modirator. However,
   they should not have the ability to clear the log. Along with search would need
   to be able to set a search time frame. Upon completing a search also the ability
   to export as a PDF or CSV. After doing a search setting the data to protected
   to prevent accidents or automatic deleting data.
 * The current CSV export does not include all the same details that a search for
   a keyword provides.
 * In settings need to be able to set a retention period.
 * Another option that would be great but not required for everyone is to use a 
   remote or separate database for the simple history log or triggering an automatic
   backup via plugins like updraft plus.
 * If this was a pro plugin we would be happy to pay to have the ediscovery options.

 * Hi! Thanks for your feedback. I have not heard about the archive and ediscovery
   laws before. Could you point me to some info about this? Perhaps it’s an american
   thing that I as an european have not heard about?

 * Might go by different names. Most websites use a webcrawler to compile with laws,
   however, that has some really bad limitations.

 * All Healthcare in the USA is required to comply. As do most city and state governments,
   public schools, police, and fire departments.

 * Thanks for the info and the link. It would be nice to meet the archive and ediscovery
   laws but it’s nothing that I currently have on my todo list. I’ve added it to
   my list of feature requests however.
