I think in order to have a succesful project like this, you must allow it go through a longer span of the passage of time. People need to create new projects, write docs for it etc. It felt like SO Documentation was pretty much invisible and now they are just shutting it down.
However, I didn't really see the need for it anyway since most larger projects already have their own documentation and don't want to host it on a third party site. Smaller projects just have some examples on the readme. So who is SO Documentation targeted for?
I think a good use case for SO Documentation could be writing tutorials and guides on how to setup stuff. How to install stuff etc.
- icebraining 9y agoThere's a need for a middle term. For example, many Python libraries have docs on PythonHosted, like https://pythonhosted.org/PyQRCode/ https://pythonhosted.org/PyQRCode/ Providing a shared space where people can contribute to something like that without having to make a PR and push a release to PyPI could be useful.
