Extracting devdocs-core out of repo

[Mohammad Hossein Sekhavat]

Hi guys,

As mentioned in Vision documentation, "DevDocs aims to make reading and searching reference documentation fast, easy and enjoyable". But it is possible to replace "reference documentation" with "glossaries" or any other type of content for communities other than developers. 

What do you suggest? Is it sound to extract devdocs-core out of repository with the same main goals as DevDocs but omitting last sentence, highlighted with red?

The app's main goals are to: keep load times as short as possible; improve the quality, speed, and order of search results; maximize the use of caching and other performance optimizations; maintain a clean and readable user interface; be fully functional offline; support full keyboard navigation; reduce “context switch” by using a consistent typography and design across all documentations; reduce clutter by focusing on a specific category of content (API/reference) and indexing only the minimum useful to most developers.

Sincerely,

Hossein

Hi

Unfortunately this is too big a task for the amount of time I'm able to devote to DevDocs (my spare time).

I'm also not in a good position to do what you ask since I have no need for a DevDocs-like content tool beyond DevDocs itself. I would be addressing a use-case which I'm not actively interested in, which isn't a good way to make software.

However, I open-sourced DevDocs so that others could reuse the code for things like what you described. Feel free to extract a core out of the main repo, and if you can get traction/support beyond it, I'll be happy to reconsider my decision.
