Having the old site/docs available would be nice. But I don't think they should be online since it leads to Google searches finding old/invalid info that people don't realize it's from and archived site.
How about doing the following on each old version to create a torque-site-X.x.x.zip that could be downloaded from the archive site. wget -r -k -np http://db.apache.org/torque/releases/torque-3.1/index.html Then copy the maven*.css files to the styles directory created under the db.apache.org/torque/releases/torque-3.1 directory. I just did this for 3.1 and it looks usable from from my hard drive. For future versions we could generate a site source zip from the site project's target docs directory.
