One thing I just realize is that we have our documentation (javadocs) on a separate website. Most sites these days just have a "documentation " section which will also have an api section within the same site (and themed in an approriate manner) such that you have a more cohesive view (and have something that actually makes you want to come back to the site.
We should also have separate javadocs for the latest LTS as well as bleeding edge (you could make the case for keeping a certain number of javadocs for prior LTS versions - you can still get Spring 2.0 javadocs online even if it is not supported!) and (ot as the design goes) ssl-everywhere will be required as Google will start ranking secure sites higher in the future. /James On Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 12:02:02 AM UTC+1, Gus Reiber wrote: > > Hey all, > So a related thread exists here > <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jenkinsci-dev/EMbE3a4u8nA>, but > I have a couple of bits I didn't want lost in a thread.
