The User Guide should be moved to a new subdomain such as userguide.haiku-os.org to make it easier to remember.

Replying to jt15s:

As per the discussion on GitHub here: https://github.com/haiku/website/pull/558#issuecomment-915697919

The User Guide should be moved to a new repository to make it easier for people to contribute (currently people must clone the entire operating system source plus the User Guide) and to manage.

I am not going to comment on two places. The userguide in the source code is not the primary source, but a copy of what is being maintained as part of https://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide/

The argument that it needs to be moved out of the Haiku repository for that reason is moot.

I am leaning on closing this ticket as wontfix but I will give reporter the chance to narrow it down to changing the domain.

About that point though: it _was_ on a separate domain before, but the powers that be decided to integrate it when they migrated to Hugo. It would be responsible to review why that change was made then, and to see whether those arguments still hold up (before moving things around again).

Ah ok. Thank you for clarifying, this was not mentioned in the initial discussion on GitHub. I think I'll change this ticket to just moving it to another subdomain then.
