Python also has a similar concept: https://docs.python.org/2/library/doctest.html Sphinx also has additional doc testing methods that let you test the code examples in your actual docs: http://www.sphin

I have the same issue with Quora. Makes me sad every time I go there and find useful info, but feel pushed away. Dropbox also does similar -- in fact they broke all their old direct public links, so that you can use their new "sharing&

This makes me sad. We based our Ethical Advertising concept that we're doing on Read the Docs ( http://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ethical-advertising.htm... ) on their inspiration. We don't have nearly

Yea, I mention commonmark in the post, and referred to it in the "standard that was used" part -- commonmark is great, but wasn't widely adopted. Updated my original post to be more clear.

This is great -- lack of a standard that was actually used (unlike CommonMark) was one of my main issues with Markdown ( http://ericholscher.com/blog/2016/mar/15/dont-use-markdown-f... ) -- It's reall

readthedocs.org -- A site that automatically builds documentation for you when you commit to your VCS repo. It's been widely used in the Python ecosystem for a few years now, and started off as a 48 hour hack day project.

I imagine it would work like a CLA in a lot of company sponsored open source. You retain copyright, but allow the owner to distribute it under their specified license terms. Or you could have a CLA that actually assigns copyright. The ongoi

Is that not better than adopting a more classic proprietary model where the source code isn't available? I totally agree with the philosophical argument around OSS --but at the end of the day, people need to eat. If you're going t

Another option is Read the Docs, which is how we host the Write the Docs docs: http://docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ -- It's basically the above workflow that GitHub describes, but with Sphinx ( http:/&

This is really interesting. I have been having conversations with a bunch of folks in the Portland area about trying to find funding with a very similar model. Glad to hear that other folks are thinking, and doing things, along these lines.

We haven't had much contact with the STC. Their meetups generally cost money, and are focused on DITA and more "old school" XML based technology. We are trying to bring the world of devs who care about docs to the doc writers
