<p>ok then it sounds like a banner that automatically appears along
the top signalling that it's an archive is the best solution.
would it appear on all pages, all the time when you're in the
archive? (in case a search brings you to an internal page, for
example).</p>

<p>Hi there, <br>
</p>
<p>The archive site at archive.flossmanuals.net - is a snap shot
of flossmanuals about 7 or 8 years ago or so. <br>
</p>
<p>So it's not straightforward to delete things from it. And well
the idea isn't really to keep that archive up to date as it's an
archive :) I don't think it's a good idea to subtract from an
archive. But yes better signposting that it is an archive and
where to find up to date things would be really useful. I'm keen
to work on that. <br>
</p>
<p>And for the other pure data manual - <a
href="https://en.flossmanuals.net/pd-extended/_full/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://en.flossmanuals.net/pd-extended/_full/</a><br>
It sounds like it's not up to date - but is update-able at
least. Someone did do some work last year to recreate some of
the code examples. It's there in case anyone does want to take
it on. <br>
</p>
<p>nice one<br>

<div>Hi folks, that's me!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have been updating the "current" document here
=> <a
href="https://en.flossmanuals.net/pd-extended/_full/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://en.flossmanuals.net/pd-extended/_full/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One thing that was confusing is that this was
referred to as a "Pure Data" manual, but was in fact a
"Pd-extended" manual. We changed the title and I'm
editing the first introduction page. What needs to be
updated there is the fact that Pd-extended is long gone
and abandoned, and it doesn't run in newer versions of
macOS, for instance. Warnings have been made that the
book is being kept as a historical document, and that it
can still be useful if you adapt the examples to the
current version of the official and main distribution of
Pure Data (aka Pd Vanilla) and install the externals
used on the book.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>By the way, there are currently no plans whatsoever
to start a new and updated manual on FLOSS Manuals, or
elsewhere. Anything like that is pretty unlikely to
happen. Our efforts are just in improving the official
manual that comes with Pd Vanilla (now currently
referred to in the edits I made to the "current" FLOSS
manual). </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>------</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now, we also have this archived version of the same
book. And I just don't understand why it exists. It was
actually the exact same book, with the same contents as
the "new one". We now have minor edits to explain the
current scenario and avoid confusions, but keeping the
archived version still adds noise and confusion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As for possible solutions, we can make the same
changes back into the archived one. But why keep both
identical books around? One archived, and another not?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It just makes sense to me to delete the old archived
one and just keep this new one around, which also the
same document.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What do you people think?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks a lot for your work keeping up FLOSS Manuals.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers</div>
