Hi Otto,

great, thanks for all the work!

Do we already have a plan how to work it out in the documentation process?

As you proposed in an earlier webmail, we can start with a branch of 
current repo. Which actually is both the website and a documentation part.
Only the documentation part (of this 1.8 branch) should be 'frozen', and 
deployed in some kind of 1.8 branch/uri in the docs website. The website 
part of the master-repo will evolve further in our 'normal' website?

OR should we just copy the User Manual directory in a 'User Manual 1.8' 
directory in current master? It is not very 'gitty', but I think it 
should be ok and more 'natural' because it is only the 'User Manual' 
which is really version bound?

What do real admins think of this?

Regards,

Richard
