Re: [Firebird-website] Wrong Firebird 2.1 Language Reference Update published

Paul,

It was me and it looked like the only logical solution possible.

And how could one know that? As a developer, I really expect CVS/SVN to contain the latest working version. Having it somewhere else (on the home hard disk) is not what can be expected from a distributed team working on the shared contents.

It cannot be simply replaced, because the links in the old copy are wrong. I've spent time on adjusting all the links in the documentation sources to point to the new site structure. And since nobody was willing to help that time and nobody has indicated that I shouldn't be looking in CVS for the actual sources, we have all the docs on the new site based on CVS. Like it or not.

Now, knowing all the facts, please suggest a solution. As for me, I feel myself as having done a dumb useless work.
