[FM Discuss] FLOSS manuals archive sites - and a volunteer request

[Helen Varley Jamieson]

hi mick,

great that you are getting onto this & nice to see the wayback snap of
the infant FM :)

can you move the UpStage v3 manual to the archive site? we are now using
the new UpStage & have nearly finished its manual - we're doing it on
french FM
(https://fr.flossmanuals.net/upstage-v4-english/_draft/_v/1.0/introduction/)
as this was easiest for elisa to set up, & we've all benefited from
learning french terms like enregister & telecharger :)

h : )
