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

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

Thank you for checking, Richard - yes an additional 35 € per month for just
80gb more is not nothing ... compared to a root server.

Ok - let's delete the 2.8 and 2.14 releases. I think it would be good to
keep the latest 2.x (2.18) around. This should give us some initial room to
serve the current documentation. If we need additional space. we could also
remove the 3.10 documentation.

And yes, it is a good idea to discuss infrastructure tasks and
responsibilities in Den Bosch!

I hope that Kartoza can soon find a good sysadmin person - now that the
idea to employ a Sysadmin and the funds had been approved.

Andreas
