I have created a replacement that may be suitable. It fixes the broken
links and adds in the slrn documentation project. Patch attached.

+<h1>Accessing slrn's Online Documentation</h1>
+<p>The current documentation for slrn is also <a href="http://slrn.sourceforge.net/documentation.html">available online</a>. Besides the plain text versions that come with the source distribution this page also offers single and multi-page HTML versions of many documents and in some cases pdf versions as well. Users of slrn are strongly encouraged in addition to read through other sections of the <a href="http://www.slrn.sourceforge.net">slrn website</a>.</p>
+<p>Work on this documentation is now a continuing and evolving process courtesy of the Slrn Documentation Project. Details of this project can be found below.</p>
+<h2>The Slrn Documentation Project</h2>
+<p>The <a href="http://slrn-doc.sourceforge.net/">slrn Documentation Project</a> is a third party project that aims to provide documentation for the slrn newsreader. The project goals are:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>To assist in keeping the official slrn documentation up to date by allowing collaborative work by &quot;unofficial&quot; documentation writers before submitting patches to the slrn project.</li>
+<li>To develop new documentation which may or may not become &quot;official&quot;.</li>
+<li>To modernise existing documentation by conversion from Linuxdoc-SGML to other formats.</li>
+<li>To translate the documentation into other languages.</li>
+</ul>
+<p><a href="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4526">Updated document packs</a> are available as well as a <a href="https://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=4526">subversion repository</a> where &quot;work in progress&quot; versions can be obtained. Assistance is always welcome in this project and a start can be made by emailing the <a href="mailto:[email protected]">project administrator</a>.</p>
