> [go-nuts] Seeking new custodian for godoc.org The Go team is the custodian for godoc.org and we are not seeking a new one.
> Legal advice will apparently force the Go team to close godoc.org [1] This is a grotesque misrepresentation of what I wrote. This is what I wrote: *# Why is there a new package docs site at all? Why not update* *godoc.org <http://godoc.org/> in place?* With the introduction of modules and the notion of multiple versions of a package, we knew we had to update the godoc.org experience. After a hard look, it seemed worth starting anew, especially since the godoc.org server design, with its single-VM database, had been starting to show its age. In addition to the modules work, there are other things we're addressing, such as accessibility and overall scalability of the service. As a side note, there's almost nothing in the Go distribution that has survived eight years without being redone. The compiler, the assembler, the linker, the go command itself, most of the standard library: all of them have been massively overhauled one or more times since the start of Go. That's how we take what we learn and make things better. This kind of rewrite always involves a transition period in which the old version is still the workhorse that most people use and the new version has a new name for early adopters to test and find bugs in. The license detection discussion is a sideshow. Please stop spreading FUD. Best, Russ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
