Ok that sounds fine,  archive in such a way that it does not come up in
standard searches, a search will come up with material in the current
release / support cycle and have a link to archived material on that
page.  that way newer material is easier to find.

is this possible, technically viable,  its about ensuring people can
easily find new and up to date material, if most of us are volunteers we
may have an hour or so free to find, process and print something the
easier you make it, the more chance people will be able to help.

even better a .deb package and put the materials in that and place this
in the repositories.  installed to a local but everyone can read / write
directory unwanted items can be easily deleted leaving the ones the end
user wants to use on the hard disk.
