What happened to the documentation

Post by gresnet »

Hi, I am developing themes and extensions and administrating a bigger bb and I often need documentation.
Until some time ago I could find some documentation in a wiki and in area51, but now it has mysteriously vanished (is that the reason you call it area51?). There are still plenty links in google and bookmarks, but they all lead to area51 front page.
Is that documentation, however poor it was, still available anywhere? In some archives, or downloadable?
Documentation was never the bright side of phpbb, but until now at least there was something written and available, while now there is almost nothing. Exploring the source code is really time consuming.
Here is one example of such link: https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/31x/cli/index.html
Am I missing something?
I really hope someone will call me stupid and point me to the new and more complete documentation that contains everything the other one contained, but how likely is this to happen?

In the wiki, 3.2 aka RHEA is 4.0 ;)

But the informations are mostly transmitted to the new dev docs, which should be found under https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/3.1.x/index.html and https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/3.2.x/index.html

See "dev docs" in the header of area 51, works for me ...
