Issue #21367 has been updated by p8 (Petrik de Heus). Thanks Nobu! I agree with Stan that some of the links to `/core` and `/stdlib` could be replaced with a link to the Internet Archive. For example: https://web.archive.org/web/20190405070846/http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/... matheusrich (Matheus Richard) wrote in #note-1:
Agree. On a different note (and I'm not sure this is the right place to ask it), *could* we buy this domain and redirect to the official docs?
I'm not sure buying every third party domain that has better SEO is something we should encourage. From what I've read ruby-doc.org was an attempt by the community to improve the Ruby documentation, but in the end it did the opposite (outdated documentation, confusion about what the official docs are, and now deadlinks). Let's hope improvements to the official docs (and the end of ruby-doc.org) will put the official docs at the top of search results again. ---------------------------------------- Misc #21367: Remove link to ruby-doc.org from www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21367#change-113429 * Author: p8 (Petrik de Heus) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- The ruby-doc.org domain no longer seems resolvable. ``` $ curl -I http://ruby-doc.org curl: (6) Could not resolve host: ruby-doc.org ``` The owner of the domain mentioned he wanted to sell it: https://ruby.social/@jamesbritt@mastodon.social/114375521600278606 This is probably a good time to remove it from https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/. This could also improve SEO for the official documentation. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
