I recently
ran into a need of saving site as a template and then reuse it. However even
though being site collection administrator, I could not find save site as a
template option under site actions menu.
I was
wondering why. Then I did some search and came to know that if your publishing
feature was turned on. I went to the site features and turned off the
publishing feature for a while.
Came back to
the screen of site settings and yes, I could locate save site as a template.
Not sure,
what is the logic behind this. However this is the trick that worked. After taking
the site template I again turned on the publishing feature as it was necessary
for the site.

A quick workaround to this is by manually using the URL /_layouts/SaveTmpl.aspx. This solution is described in these articles : http://tangentlin.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/where-is-save-as-template-in-sharepoint-2010/ and http://sladescross.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/sharepoint-2010-save-as-template/
yes URL option is always there for developers but found proper way for post production scenario :)
