Jane and Matt are the ones to ask on this, but I have it straight from both of them that the WordPress Codex will not be "dropped" but content will be used in building the new documentation via subversion. I don't have the latest information, but agree with Otto that we need to slow down and not jump. Nothing is happening too dramatic. The Codex still has value as a living document.
I presented to the group when the first announcements came out about how we can shift the Codex as the repository of support docs to something else. I suggested we explore more WordPress Lessons and how-to techniques, to share a greater wealth of customization and techniques beyond what is offered in the new documentation. I'd love to continue that discussion. Thanks, Lorelle On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 3:59 PM, Otto <[email protected]> wrote: > I missed that one.
