Or should there then remain the last version we have as you wrote in 1) ? If they should remain empty then I would find it useful to have a README in which points to the related archive, and I volunteer to create these if there's agreement. There are probably a lot of users who just link to the dist directory of their platform, and would find a poiter to the archives useful. Then I found on the main docu page: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ that there are direct links to the previous source versions, but all end up in a 'NOT FOUND'; should we change these to point to the archive now?
