Hi,

it's a bit ironic that I still get these messages and care enough to 
read and respond - anyway.
This "the website is terrible" is still a trigger point. Both because 
plenty of us know the untenable situation that led to a more or less 
working documentation workflow and the new website stack, because I feel 
that this website is mostly better (looks better, is more responsive) 
than the old one, and because this is a vague and unactionable remark. I 
doubt it's helpful in itself even to the target audience.
From what I can tell, the doc website is among the few things you can 
easily get into and make things happen on your own. Anyway, how is it 
terrible? Is it the content, the design, the site structure, the 
infamous search bar that had to be completely reworked, or what? 
Apparently there is a downloadable epub version as well (work in 
progress), I suspect many people would want something like that... I 
worked comparatively very little on that site but still cannot help but 
feel the pain that the collective effort has all gone to waste if the 
usual feedback one gets to see is like that. It would frankly help if 
somebody every now and then just acknowledged it, given that we are 
talking a huge and hard-to-document language anyway.
By the way, if you want an offline terminal tool, you should check out 
the rakudoc script. I think something additional might need to be 
downloaded for the source documents but I'm sure somebody can help set 
things up.

Regards
