I'm in process of migrating a blogger based blog to hugo. Compare blogger site to hugo-backed site (source here).

One thing that I'll lose as a result of this migration is an archive of posts (like this one). I don't really care all that much, and I'll most likely replace it with a list of all posts, with a different layout, generated from layouts/section/post.html. I'd like to ask you, however, to consider adding a capability for hugo to generate time-based archives. Such archives would most likely be useful to people who want to preserve their existing archive pages.

It'd generate content under public/<section>/2014/index.html for example, from layouts/post/list.html. It'd need to allow per-section and per-level (yearly, monthly, daily) control. It'd also need to play well with permalinks parameter from config.yaml - I don't really have a good idea how to address that.

Is such feature request a sensible one? :)
