Howdy!
What makes them so big? It really surprises me that 3.22 is smaller than
3.10.
Nerdy idea: If it is lots of HTML files, would pre-compressing them on
the file system and letting the server serve them from that be an
option? Or maybe using a compressed filesystem? I had lots of fun
serving gigantic text archives using FUSE in the past.
Considering how cheap hosting static files is, why is there even a need
to care? Afaik the docs.qgis.org server is fronted by CloudFlare caching
so performance is no issue. OVH offers 1TB servers for 6€/month. I'd
gladly sponsor this for all eternity.
As a user, as long as documentation is not stored locally but help
buttons open a *webbrowser for remotely-hosted pages*, I would expect
*any* released version to have its documentation available forever.
Otherwise part of my QGIS is remotely broken by this.
Cheers, Hannes

Hi all (and sorry for the cross-post)
Richard has raised the issue a couple of times with no specific
feedback/decision but I think now we NEED to go forward : there is not
enough space on our servers to store everything we want to share.
Yesterday, I updated the docs infrastructure to serve translated
versions of the 3.28 documentation but they are not published this
morning, probably because of lack of space to get them pasted.

An option could be to rent a bigger webserver but a few
questions/suggestions so far (I'm only speaking for the docs as I
don't know what is behind other folders):
- Do we need to serve all these versions? FYI we recently silently
removed and redirected <2.8 docs (and nobody complained) so we could
probably be more "aggressive"
- It could be nice to define some strategy on this area: e.g. we keep
publishing master, current LTR, previous LTR and any older URL is
redirected to current LTR --> meaning that today we would be serving
only testing in English, 3.28 and 3.22 in English + translations. OR
one more older LTR (ie 3.16)?
PS: this issue somehow also affects the PyQGIS documentation repo [0],
due to github-pages size limits
