About this whitelist

We host an archive of discussions going back to 2007, and many of those discussions include links to documents on other sites. Our data on the forum is permanent, but some of these other documents expire over time. For our members, we are now holding a mirror of some of these documents where they are in a .pdf format and were still available when we realised that an increasing number of links were coming up broken. Our search page ( http://www.passenger.chat/search.html ) will let you find documents (and forum threads and stations ) based on their content.

A few documents are "whitelisted" - in other words, we will serve them to guests as well as to members, and they are listed above. Typically they are key resources available in the public domain; they represent only about 1 in 50 of our total mirror.
