[Koha] Older Koha manuals

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi Aude

I don't really understand the decision to permanently remove "older 
manuals" since many libraries are using older versions than Koha 22.11. 
Not every library has the time, the need or the financial means to 
always update to the most current version (which often is a bad move 
anyway). Also it is not clear to me if, when and how "older manuals " 
will be removed in the future.

However, I tried to access https://link.infini.fr/koha-manual-archives 
but it shows the error:

PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Can you please tell me where to actually find and download the older 
manuals?

Then, when I have downloaded them I would make them available through my 
own website (since the completeness through the Internet Archive is not 
guaranteed). Do you think there is something to be said against that?

Best wishes: Michael
