<DIV>
<DIV>Thanks Ted,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV> that echoes my thoughts: any HW supported by NUT at some point and
with a population of units physically alive, whether marketed or supported by
original vendors or not, should better be documented.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV> So if the old docs are in some way better than new one, even if
explaining quirks not relevant and not documented for same-named models or
firmware sold today, I believe such docs should remain available (maybe marked
as old stuff, but ready for revision). After all, currently shipped drivers
probably correspond to that spec?..</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>@Dinow: how strict is the business/etc. requirement to make that older
info truly unavailable? Can we keep it visible but maybe marked
deprecated? </DIV>

<P>I'm not a NUT admin but you posted this to a public mailing list so I'm
going to just send a response to that list since it's a public posting.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>The current documentation you sent is much sparser than the older
docs. So I think the older docs are going to still be valuable for
just that reason alone, as an addition to the newer current
documentation. I do not know what the admins are going to do but I
would hope they merely mark the old documents as "Old" and add this to
them.<BR></P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>Unlike commercial software, open source software projects usually do not
have the luxury of removing support for older hardware that is no longer in
production from the manufacturer.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>As a NUT user I cannot thank you enough for supporting open source
software projects like NUT.</P>
