Hi Michael,

the link seems to be working for me now, could you try again and see if you get the same error?

As Documentation Manager: If you want to host the older manual versions on your own website, I have no arguments against that. Actually I think it's a good idea for "historical reference" 😊 and in case any workflow-specific questions to older versions come up.
I'll put it on the agenda for our next Documentation meeting on 28th August, but I'm pretty sure if anyone has any arguments against it they will probably let it be known here in the mailing list before that date.
If you want I can also ask around in our Community Mattermost, might reach more people there than in the mailing list.

Best regards

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
