[Typo3] Typo3 Documentation in CHM format - where to put it?

[Carl McDade]

The reason I am posting this is because I am looking for suggestions on 
how to best make this file available to all. At present the file is 70mb 
in size and takes a lot of manual labor with conversion,linking and HTML 
coding. This is unlike my other projects which can be handled with some 
regexs and Perl scripting. This is why it is a pay download at present.

But since I am busy with other projects I cannot devote the amount of 
time it takes to maintain the file without asking to be paid for my 
time. So should I:

1.Try and join the Typo3 docs team, donate the CHM to typo3 and maintain 
it as best I can in my free time. This would allow others to also help 
out. It would be a trade off. I would not have to worry about bandwidth 
and availability and getting credit for the work would satisfy my 
commercial needs for advertising.

2.Put it up as a fundable.org or donorge.org project and only update it 
when funds reach a certain level. (This is hard to maintain because of 
having to figure to costs of bandwith and other non-fixed costs along 
with labor)

3.Continue to maintain this as a commercial download and charge 
accordingly.( Again this is hard to maintain because of having to figure 
to costs of bandwith and other non-fixed costs like labor.).

I have been getting emails about this being unfair to those that can't 
afford the costs. The complaint being the reason they need a CHM is 
because of the cost of being online. One very angry person said that I 
was influencing the popularity of Typo3 with undue capitalism. I have 
been emailing copies to people, but now even this is starting to 
encrouch on my time.

So I am open to suggestions on this. But please do not inundate me with 
emails about getting the file until this is resolved. At 70mb my email 
client is constantly runnning at times.
