I'm not 100% I am following properly here, but a couple of points:

The documentation API/user manual is currently shipped with the release.
So there's no way to update this after the release is out.  We do host
copies of the documentation (and some additional formats) here:

https://activemq.apache.org/artemis/docs.html

These could be updated after a release.  But would mean there's a
differences between what we ship and what we host online.  If we want to
separate the documentation and the release, then perhaps we remove the docs
from the release altogether, and point users our docs page, which we can
update periodically?

John, regarding your comments about pushing to docs periodically, could you
please explain how this works? could you point to me to a project that does
this so I can take a look?

Thanks
Martyn
