Description thigdesigns 2011-10-04 14:06:32 UTC 
I was able to access Gimp's online manual until a week ago. I'm teaching a GIMP class and use the manual with the students. The manual is located at: http://docs.gimp.org/en/. Please help.

The server administrator has been informed about the problem, but we haven't got any feedback yet.
Comment 4 Kris 2011-10-05 00:44:34 UTC 
I just tried to access the manual again, and it's still unavailable. Any ETA on a fix? I'm lost without it.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2011-10-05 08:25:39 UTC 
Using Google Cache (or similar stuff) might be a workaround for the time being.
Comment 6 Kris 2011-10-05 16:43:31 UTC 
Google Cache isn't particularly helpful. You can get to the opening page of the manual, but since it's a TOC of links, every link you click times out.

Is there a PDF version of the manual in English? I'd rather download it and be able to access it that way if it's possible.

Kris, Tim,

At www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-docs/13046-gimp-2-6-pdf-manual I found a link to http://gimp.linux.it/www/doc-home.html

At the bottom of that page is a link that points to a local download of the English (or the Italian) version of the GIMP user manual: http://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/gimp-en.pdf

So I hope this can help you out until GIMP's servers return.

Thank you so much! I have the manual downloaded now.

all best,

Kris

Restoration is in progress (i.e. the server name can be resolved again), but the content is still missing.
