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 : )

Hi there,



I’ve been working with Alexandre Porres from the pure data community to correct older versions of our pure data manual and the current one.

This has highlighted that archived resources could do more to point to more current versions and ideally remove completely redundant versions of manuals.



This reflects the current focus of the FLOSS Manuals project to maintain existing manuals as archived work – and to update documentation for existing project where appropriate – and signpost to other relevant materials and resources in line with FLOSS Manuals ethos.



So, I’ve finally pulled the plug on write.flossmanuals.net<http://write.flossmanuals.net> – although the site is still available here

http://floss.booktype.pro/ -

I’ll ask for that to be taken down at the end of the year – so if there is still anything useful there that isn’t part of http://archive.flossmanuals.net then please do go grab it.

write.flossmanuals.net<http://write.flossmanuals.net> – now forwards to archive.flossmanuals.net<http://archive.flossmanuals.net>



Volunteer/s Request

Would anyone be up for taking on a project to include a header banner for the archive site that signposts reader to more updated manuals when they exist?

The archive site is in flat html. So some kind of script to inject header material would be needed. And some design work to create a nice looking header.



Here’s a link to the current archive site on gitlab

https://gitlab.com/flossmanuals/archive.flossmanuals.net



and here’s a link to an early version of flossmanuals.net<http://flossmanuals.net> capture by archive.org<http://archive.org> – it has a header at the top of the page saying wayback machine – it’s this kind of injected header that I’m talking about.

Hope you are all doing well.

If you are ever in the north of England come visit me at a new Making / Repairing space that I’m doing in a town called Todmorden - https://todmordenmakery.org.uk/



Nice one

Mick
