precisely
Look at this (old) page for an example:
https://docs.gimp.org/download.html
(see that there are even the older docs, 2.6 or even 2.4 for example).
Kept for historical reasons?
Actually, since we have that page I think it might be best to include a link at the end of the list of current version docs. Perhaps something like:
"The user manual for previous versions of GIMP can be found here <URL>"
I can add this shortly.
So first and foremost we should ask a web developer where it is. If
there is none, I would ask gently the developers to create one with an CI
server connected just to render the on-going documentation and
translation efforts continuously. Is it asking too much? Hope not! :-)
This one is a little different. The "
docs.gimp.org" sub-domain is separate from the main
www.gimp.org domain, and I haven't had a chance to really familiarize myself with it enough. I'm certainly happy to get something set up for CI/publish of the current docs (but I am also a bit ignorant of how the docs are managed overall...).
I'll ask about getting something setup.
