+1 I may add current direwolf 1.6.4 pack there is no openp/docs program on an advanced computer, and no openp folder on either advanced/non-advanced turtle. Googling directs the use to the website which promptly redirects to the homepage where no instruction on how to find documentation is available or mentioned.
Currently to get documentation, you need to discover this repository ( which I would never have found if I wasn't already a developer ), and manually grab the docs lua source.
Once downloaded, I used the docs program on an AE controller, and got multiple pages worth of information, but could only see the last screens worth
Ancient versions of openperiperal are not supported
Also, if the stock program doesn't fit your needs, write your own.
All the info is in p.getAdvancedMethodsData()
My initial comment has nothing to do with ancient versions of openperiperal
He was referring to my use of the direwolf pack, not the hard to find documentation that isn't mentioned anywhere.
I can understand that documentation takes time to write, and that an openp/doc
command is a quick means of letting people know what methods are available, and hope that the names are descriptive enough, but it's not mentioned anywhere ( why was such an ancient version bundled with the latest FTB pack anyway? )
If the old documentation page was restored, but had a only single sentence "Documentation is no longer available here, but there's a computercraft command openp/docs
To answer the question about ancient version in the FTB packs, you would need to ask jadedcat

If the old documentation page was restored, but had a only single sentence "Documentation is no longer available here, but there's a computercraft command openp/docs " that would itself be a massive improvement, and would take all of 5 minutes to implement.

Following on from ticket #105 which is now closed.
I think that would be worth mentioning on the website. Otherwise how are people going to know to run openp/docs
There's a lot more to documentation than just the recipes, especially for OpenBlocks which doesn't have the in-game documentation. If you don't want to maintain the docs yourself then how about linking to the github wikis from openmods.info homepage
