The committed file for the MDN CSS data includes several between-page links that are broken.

cf. #29

Hi Melanie,

This project is no longer maintained, you may want to speak to the prject maintainers about taking over ownership. The PR's look fine to me.

Best, Kevin

Hello, Kevin, Thank you for the clarification! I'll ponder the ownership question. Enjoy, Melanie

Re: ownership, if you look at the network graph: https://github.com/rgarcia/dochub/network then you'll see that niesc and I are also hacking on dochub forks intermittently. It would be nice to get dochub into a more collective-ownership mode, for example by setting up a github organization so that multiple people can approve commits, and we can perhaps unfork all our improvements. If you're interested in working together on this, I can throw some cycles into it.

OTOH, dochub has probably languished because the alternatives have improved a lot since 2010. Mozilla is slowly improving MDN and there is now a weekly tarball of the full rendered MDN site: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:MDN/About#Result_form Also there are now fairly popular native apps which fill dochub's niche on OS X, Linux, and Windows: http://kapeli.com/dash http://zealdocs.org/ If these serve your needs, then you might find adopting them easier than signing up to improve dochub ;).

Sorry for the radio silence. @vecter and I have both moved on from dochub to other projects. @keunwoo I agree with you on all counts. I think Dash is a great alternative. The downsides of Dash in my view: it costs money, it's only for Mac, and it's not open source. If I had time to invest in dochub again I'd love to convert it to read Dash docsets. A free/open-source/web-based version of Dash would be pretty cool, and a lot easier to maintain than a set of scrapers.
