But with what purpose? These are sites >7GB each of which most information should either be still available in newer doc versions, or only if you would want to use 2.x versions of QGIS...
I fail to want to put extra time into this.
But if you want: I have archived both versions in a zip on qgis6, and can make them available for you if you want to set this up.
Feel free to contact me directly (richard at qgis is still working if I am correct...).
Regards,
Richard Duivenvoorde

You can also create a community page, so that all records are accessible from a single point: https://zenodo.org/communities/ <https://zenodo.org/communities/>

Not sure it is a sustainable behavior and we'd just be postponing the issue (remember, pyqgis repo is also concerned). We rather should identify what we do really want/need to provide to our community. So I'm glad you'll discuss this at Den Bosch./(and I keep updating my list of todo for the sys admin)/

>> About why 3.10 is bigger than 3.22, it had two languages we no longer publish, and looks like we managed somehow to provide smaller files (plugins and third-party providers chapters that were removed on the road? 🤔)
>>
>> Bernd, sorry for the old docs popping up during search. Unfortunately, not something new [0], and we still are looking for people with knowledge in this area to help us improve the situation. What I usually do is to replace the version number in the URL and most of the times, it work well unless the file has been restructured.

>> 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.

>> > 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.
