I totally agree with you. I think the first step is listing all the
corresponding toolchain and their relationship between weex in the document
clearly(e.g. xxx is official, and xxxx is third party plugin). Moving
weex-toolkit to Apache repos will be a huge according to my understanding,
maybe we should talk this later in another thread after we finished the
document work first.
> PS: What is https://weex.io/ <https://weex.io/> based on?
https://weex.io <https://weex.io/> is based on the draft branch of
https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex-site
<https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex-site> , other website like
http://weex.incubator.apache.org <http://weex.incubator.apache.org/> and
https://weex-project.io <https://weex-project.io/> are based on the master
branch. We are trying to rewrite weex's website and host it on https://weex.io
<https://weex.io/> . Other URL will be redirect to https://weex.io
<https://weex.io/> when all the job are done. You may think https://weex.io
<https://weex.io/> is in beta stage and will be the weex’s website. We would
like to publish https://weex.io <https://weex.io/> on Weex conf 2019. Ref this
<http://weex-project.io/weexConf2018/index-en.html> to have a deeper view of
weex conf 2018.
