And from http://gnu.org/manual/ .

Indeed.  I think I’ve always been updating the one at guile/manual,
since it’s the usual way to place GNU manuals, but I must have forgotten
to check the links under guile/.  I’d be in favor or removing ‘docs-1.8’
and keeping just ‘manual’.  What do you think?

I was thinking about the ‘gnu-web-doc-update’ module.

OK.

Either way is fine with me.

Thank you!
