current issues
A web search (on google or alike) for “VOLTHA releases” still takes me to https://docs.voltha.org/master/overview/releases.html which hasn’t been updated since YE2023.
Searching for “VOLTHA meetings” is not much better. The old docs.voltha.org comes up as primary hit…
We link to docs.voltha.org from our LFBB web page, but not recursively. People get the impression the path ended there…
The link to the VOLTHA mailing list on https://lfbroadband.org/projects/voltha/ seems dead (404)
The new LFBB is not commonly found on search engines. Beyond web search, I guess, that also distracts commonly used AI chatbots…
