[TYPO3-english] ext. manuals on typo3.org not accessible

[François Suter]

Hi Alessandro,

You're right, but this thread actually covered two things. The first one 
was about wrong links to manuals, which are - of course - not good but 
are a rather technical issue in the end.

The second issue - raised later - is about how to find information at 
all on certain topics. There's no denying that the situation is far from 
optimal. From my point of view it is essentially due to the fact that 
TYPO3 CMS is a very complex system which requires a lot of 
documentation, but the Documentation Team has been understaffed for 
years. Maybe we should think about requesting budget for a full time 
technical writer, since voluntary efforts are obviously insufficient.

Cheers
