Maybe we could have separate account just for manuals and possibility to
directly link to that folder from web/wiki. That way Tommaso can directly
upload his exports to web without relying on me. That would be good.

At most once per release, maybe even once per major relase.

Internally does not matter, we just need bash-like access for rm/cp -r  commands
(ftp through curl-ftps is just fine for that) and ability to directly link
it through URL.

*anything*.
