Liberating manuals from the many jails of manuals into InternetArchive

It turns out if you create an archive.org account, they might delete it. Not sure why my acct no longer works. It’s a bit off that we must go through registration hoops in the first place in order to /contribute/ to the archive.

Anyway, I went to the effort of unbinding and scanning a manual that does not exist in the cloud. Where is a good place to upload it? I am certaintly not going to feed a manual jail of any kind. Has to be effort-free for both contributors and users.

Good tip. I get the impression they only want service manuals and exclude user manuals. I do have some service manuals to contribute so I’ll be considering ifixit for those for sure.

I guess they wouldn’t want the user manual I just scanned. A search of their docs db doesn't show any user manuals so I suppose a user manual would pollute their archives.
