All, I'm just musing where is the best place
to store Unix
documentation. My Unix Archive is really just a filesystem, so it's
not
so good to capture and search metadata.
Is anybody using archive.org, gunkies or something else
BitSavers seems to be the canonical location for old computer
documentation.
The CHWiki (gunkies.org) isn't really the best place to put original
documentation,
but that's where I'd recommend putting meta-data. As for searching
meta-data, are
you speaking of something more powerful than Google?

PS: Speaking of old Unix documentation, I recently acquired a paper copy
of the
PDP-11 V6 Unix manual. Is that something I should scan? I don't know if you
already have it (I know where to find sources in the archives, but I don't
know where documentation scans live.)
What I personally have is impure, and I have not seen a complete one
elsewhere, so if you have a real manual, that is a good thing IMHO.
