[QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-psc] QGIS webserver size vs publishing old docs

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Matthias,

Sure - buying more space is an option. I would like to get an idea - 
however - what the monthly expected costs are. Is this a "virtual" 
server at Hetzner? How much disk space does it have currently, how much 
do we want? What is the price difference?

But is also good to get rid of stuff that is hardly ever used and 
accumulates over time.

At some point - cleanup of old stuff just makes sense. Getting rid of 
version 2.14 and 3.8 (it probable should mean 3.8 and not 2.8 - right) 
would make sense. Documentation always focuses on LTR versions, so all 
the "in-between" versions that are older than 3-4 years could be 
deleted.
