I don't have a problem with this as long as the manual
isn't under NDA.  

Do you think any vendor would care otherwise?  I guess
we could mirror and then remove if someone complains.
It isn't like this is a for profit exercise.

I am open to opinions but mirroring them on the ftp
site would be ok.  Organization is key.  Would something
like this work?

manuals
  - boards
    - vendor
      - model
  - cpus
    - vendor
      - model
 - peripherals
    - vendor
      - model
