+It looks as if the export config file attached results in almost all data being exported for those participants whose interview status is closed, completed or cancelled.[[BR]]
 
+Some aspects are excluded which I (Jeff) do not fully comprehend:
+   1. Notably to do with the variable 'Participants:Admin.Interview.exportLog.destination'.
+   1. Some aspects of the Consent table are not exported.
+
+The question of how much we purge is an open question. Remember that this may affect the reporting tool. I mention this here because I believe the purge config file that we have as a default will result in almost everything going.[[BR]]
+
+On the whole it seems sensible to export as much as we can and then archive export files; ie: retain them forever. We may wish to consider encryption given the idea of retaining in perpetuity. [[BR]]
+
+Why export everything? Because it gives us more than one bite of the cherry for the import into i2b2 (or any other piece of software). The detail shown in the export file is quite daunting. It is conceivable that if we filtered during the export we might get this wrong, or change our minds later.
