[SEL] Oldengine.org document repository

[Peter A Forbes]

Some time ago, Bill Tremel and a few others created some scanned documents which
related to engine manuals etc., and Jim Dunmyer provided space on Oldengine.org
for their storage. The earliest files are 1998, the latest 2000. A file list is
at the bottom of this email.

The Documents folder has not been linked to the main menu for some time (if it
ever was, I cannot find out) and it existence had almost been forgotten. 

As this was a useful resource for engine nuts, I propose to reinstate the access
path so that the files are available again, subject to not receiving any
objections from the 'owners' of the files (those guys who scanned them
originally) An extra menu item will be added to the main Oldengine.org front
page, access will be allowed by anyone, unless there is a general feeling that
it should be password protected.

Bill Tremel has signalled his OK on this in principal, and in the longer term we
may be able to expand the facility to take in more information which I can take
in and file for the site.

Should we find that the facility is being abused, by copying the files and
selling the resulting manual on ebay for example, then we will have to
reconsider the access position.
