<p>hmm, i'm not sure about that one either. is there a way to see
which are the most viewed? <br>

<p>Not really, :(</p>
<p>Also, thinking about it a bit it may be more tactical to make a
decision based on what is most likely to attract editors and avoid
duplication of effort and help build on the existing community. <br>
</p>
<p>I was also thinking that the manuals that seem to date best are
the ones for established media / art / sound making tools rather
than for Interent Security ones. <br>
</p>
<p>For example the one on digital art foundations has probably dated
better than the ones on Interent Security. <br>

<p>Certainly, it's a great time to nominate one or more manuals to
"look after" if you are friendly member of the FM community and
would like to maintain a manual by doing some updates or even by
providing direction to some of the many volunteers we get. <br>
Just email me if with a manuals of choice if you are interested in
doing that. <br>

<p>Thanks<br>

<p>probably the UpStage manual doesn't need to be archived, as we
have old versions on the website (i think ... we used to ... )
& i don't think anyone out there is using the old versions
anyway. & hopefully in the not too distant future we are
going to have a completely shiny new improved platform! :)</p>

<p>Hi there, <br>
</p>
<p>This was a point that came up at the last FLOSS Manuals
meeting. <br>
</p>
<p>The proposal was to archive most of the FLOSS Manuals content
in the process of moving to a new Booktype 2.x installation
apart from active or most valued ones , and for me to come up
with a suggestion on how to do that. <br>
I've got a suggestion which is... <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Pick at top 20 of manuals which we would like to promote
and try to keep updated. <br>
</li>
<li>Migrate those and any that have changed significantly
since the last migration to the current
write.flossmanuals.net<br>
</li>
<li>Update the web links of older manuals to point to the
relevant part of <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://archive.flossmanuals.net/"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://archive.flossmanuals.net/</a>
for example one like <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://archive.flossmanuals.net/ffmpeg2theora/"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://archive.flossmanuals.net/ffmpeg2theora/</a><br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I actually think this could be a really positive thing, we
get loads of hits still, and lots of requests to get involved
as volunteers but it's not always clear where to get them
started. <br>
I think this kind of focus could really help. <br>
</p>
<p>I'm not sure the best way to pick the top 20 odd manuals
however, any suggestions?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks<br>
Mick<br>
