Hi Martin,
should we also explicitly ask sourceforge to not mirror Inkscape's binaries (see current gimp discussions and sourceforge blog for more info)? Do we have a repo for historical versions somewhere? (or good private backups?) Might be nice to be able to try those out in a VM in a few years ;)
Regards, Maren

Dear Developers,
Because of the thousands of downloads per week of old inkscape releases (mostly windows msi files) from the sourceforge account and because of our successful transition to using our own website with caching proxy fastly.
I will be deleting all files from the SourceForge files folder in two weeks time (June 14th). Please make sure you have any and all files you wish to back up, and any downloads you want to make available for your platform available on the website.
If there are any objections please raise them here and I won't go ahead with the proposed deletion.
This cleanup is mostly to reduce our online search footprint, reduce confusion with users and prevent users getting hold of old, obsolete or buggy versions of inkscape. (I've mentioned this cleanup before, but I wanted to be more proactive and state that I'll do it and take responsibility)
Best Regards, Martin Owens
