Restoring "Autoconfiguration" tree #158

Closed SphinxKnight closed 1 year ago

SphinxKnight commented 1 year ago

What was under https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Thunderbird/Autoconfiguration now is stored in https://github.com/mdn/archived-content/tree/main/files/en-us/mozilla/thunderbird/autoconfiguration and there is no redirect.

After seeing https://github.com/thundernest/developer-docs/issues/156 and https://github.com/thundernest/autoconfig/issues/26, I went with a naive approach to put the pages from the MDN archived repo here (as it seems this place is more actively maintained than wikimo).

N.B. I only went with markdown formatting and did not change/update/improve the content. Please feel free to use this PR to improve the content as well.

If you'd prefer this content to live on wikimo, please close this PR :)

<aside> P.S. The "local editor experience" with GitBook was far from pleasant. I wished I had a way to preview changes locally but gitbook-cli wasn't working on Windows and is not maintained anymore. I had to install GitHub apps and authorizations which seemed a bit overkill. </aside>

Thank you so much for manually reviving this. Yes, that archive is where Mozilla dumped the raw document sources, but they are not rendered anywhere anymore and cannot be viewed directly as-is from that archive. Manually bringing these pages back really seems to be the only possible thing to do. Thank you for your work on this!

I will collect feedback of where this should go and get back to you as fast as possible.
