I meant that the server should be more available to devs or an admin. Right now, it may very well that only Speed and Edward can access it to make changes, etc. Also, someone is presumably paying for the server and the domain. That person might go away or lose interest at some time, and then no one else would be able to maintain the server or domain.
If the documentation were moved to github.io, and the links changed to point there instead of leoeditor.com, newer users could find the docs and the older docs on leoeditor.com could slowly age away.
