Should we cache the API docs?

Postby thomthom » Thu Apr 26, 2012 7:21 pm

Just thinking - I've seen a few migration during acquisition where resources where temporarily offline for various reason. Should we safe guard ourself and scrape the API docs for a cached backup?

Hey guys,

I really don't expect anything weird to happen with the docs. Google is obligated (and happy) to host our current web resources until such time as we have a replacement ready. (One with rejuvenated user comments. ;))
