Where has the documentation gone?

[juliankrieger]

The current template to issues even is this:

1. Check the documentation - https://micro.mu/docs/
2. Check the examples and plugins - https://github.com/micro/examples & https://github.com/micro/go-plugins
3. Search existing issues

However, micro.mu doesn't exist. The go-micro website doesn't exist like it did in the past. As it stands now, this entire repository and all of go-micro doesn't have an documentation left. Is there a repository where it was originally hosted?

Thanks for your feedback. All templates have now been deleted. They were 3 years old and don't reflect the current state of the project. Anything related to micro.mu should not be taken as docs for this project as it was more of a company website.

Currently the only documentation is https://go-micro.dev/docs/ and the readme. The project needs a full revamp in terms of documentation. This is not an easy task. All examples and plugins are also out of date and for prior versions. For reference v0 to v1 was 2015-2019, 4 years of work as a bootstrapped solo project. v2-v3 was 2019-2021, a VC funded effort to build a product around the framework which meant rapid iteration and a lot of change which left things in a bad state. Everything after was attempts to hand off to the community but didn't go as planned. Since then I've tried to deprecate what I could and consolidate things in v5. There may now be a time to add docs but perhaps using AI to generate the majority of those.

I welcome further feedback as what would be the most user friendly and what information would be useful

Just to note, I've started updating the docs. Let me know if you need any additional information.

@asim Thanks! I would love to contribute a bit. For starters, would it be possible to link to the docs in this documentation?

[asim]

Done! Added to top of readme. Docs are now also fully fleshed out. Please have a read through and let me know what questions you still have

thanks!
