Stale version of docs at Read The Docs

[chrish42]

Hi. This seemed like the best place to file this issue. There's a stale version of the numpy docs at https://numpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

I feel either deleting it or setting up a redirect to numpy.org/doc would be more than good enough. Either would avoid people using a version of the docs that's not updated anymore, at least.

Thanks for the report @chrish42.

@shoyer the RTD setup was pointing at your fork rather than the main repo. I changed that now.

I don't want to delete the whole project, because then someone else can take over the numpy name on RTD I think. But we also don't want to maintain it. Anyone know of any solutions? @astrojuanlu maybe?

[shoyer]

I asked over in the RTD support issues: readthedocs/readthedocs.org#8143

Hah, I was writing a response at the same time you opened the issue upstream :) let's continue the discussion there

RTD doesn’t seem to offer new solutions for taking care of this issue. Should we add an index as suggested here: readthedocs/readthedocs.org#8143 (comment)?

According to the numpy project page the maintainers on ReadTheDocs are @rgommers, @shoyer, and @wolph. If someone else wants to pick this up, one of the maintainers will need to give them the needed permissions. Any volunteers?

[wolph]

I can give permission, just tell me the username. I only created the project on read the docs many years ago in the hopes of having up to date docs available. But I couldn't get it to build at that time.

I'm not sure about the current state though.

[shoyer]

If someone wants to do something with this page, I am happy to share permissions. But I don't think it's really worth worrying about, unless we hear reports from users who are surprised by it. I don't see the ReadTheDocs page showing up when I search for the NumPy docs in Google.

How about a little stub documentation that (automatically) redirects you to the numpy docs?

[shoyer]

that sounds fine, if someone wants to put that together

I can take that up. Can you give me permissions on RTD project for NumPy so that I can create a stub that redirects to official NumPy docs page?

[rgommers]

Thanks @shaloo! Is your ReadTheDocs username also shaloo? If you don't have an account there yet, you'll need to create one.
