Re: Git documentation at kernel.org

kernel.org is probably the most "official" place for developers, but for
Git users, http://git-scm.com/ is most likely the best entry point. If
it were not for historical reasons, I think http://git-scm.com/docs/ or
so would be the most natural URL to host official docs.

Good point. That is probably the best place to host it.

As far as historical reasons, perhaps the right answer is to put the
documentation where it makes sense to go _now_, and ask kernel.org to
issue http redirects for http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs.

I would be happy to set this up.  I'm currently in the process of
revamping the website and this is one of the things I'm planning on
doing anyways - not just hosting the generated docs, but also making
them searchable and whatnot.

Actually, as long as I'm on this, what do people think about git-scm
hosting the wiki as well?  As far as I can tell, it was down for
months and now it's back in some sort of weird read-only state.  If I
imported everything into a different wiki and hosted it on git-scm
would that be acceptable?

Also, something that I realized I am not willing to maintain any more
is the Git Community Book. It was an experiment at reorganizing some
of the docs, but instead I spent my time on Pro Git, which is CC
licensed.  Would anyone object to me removing the community book from
the git-scm site and more tightly integrating the Pro Git content?
It's more up to date and better content, I feel - I would rather have
one book to maintain than two.  However, since it is a commercial
product (albeit a Creative Commons licensed one), I wasn't sure if
people would have an issue with it.
