Sorry folks, I am back here again with yet another proposal.

It is starting to become our practice to link published guides on the
website and wiki back to the Published Folder on the Documentation
NextCloud instance. In *theory* this should not create any issues and is
an extremely easy and convenient (lazy) mechanism for us to use.

I am currently involved with the on-line training of two people, who
have been complaining that links I have given them to website and wiki
copies of the documentation don't allow them to DIRECTLY download the
required guides, without getting into a "jumping through hoops"
work-around to download the required material. I encountered this myself
when trying to offer Bernard John Poole some guidance on the mailing
list. Namely that clicking the link-back links opens the files in the
web browser and a browser right click "Save As" offers a weirdly
formatted copy of the NextCloud html file.

Even though the link-back mechanism is convenient for us, it really
doesn't take a great deal of work to upload the published material to
the wiki/website, but does make life much easier for our readers.

So can we please end this method of linking back to the NextCloud instance.

Best Regards
Dave
