The getting started page recommends a WORKSPACE incantation that is no longer needed for Stardoc.

The plan is to completely take down the skydoc.bazel.build site (it should forward to in-github documentation of this repository).

I'm going to change the issue description to track this here.

I would reconsider taking down the website, but to serve a (loud) notice to direct Stardoc and new users to this repo.

Taking down the website will break the doc lookup use case of our existing Skydoc users, which is not ideal.

Fair enough -- we can leave the Skydoc (python binary) portion of the site intact, with strong deprecation warnings, but take down all Stardoc-related information (with a redirection to this repo)

Sounds good.

Can this issue be closed? Looks like skydoc.bazel.build now makes clear that Stardoc is its replacement.

Related questions:

  • Do we want to have subdomains of bazel.build in general
  • What is the criteria for having a subdomain page? Do Google projects get privilege?
  • Could we host these as github.io pages?

See also this plan for migrating from the name "skydoc" to "stardoc". We should assess what steps remain as part of this bug.
