Huh, looks like a modern-day WinHelp. That looks like it's moving in the wrong direction though. I doubt many people want a big completely offline doc blob in this day and age.

Actually, I wish more projects had installable documentation. Obviously, I don't want WinHelp, but man pages, HTML, and PDFs easily installed to a discoverable place, yes please.

In my experience, local copies load appreciably faster and more consistently than CDN-ed, Google Analytics-ed hosted copies

I'm beyond livid that Firefox Developer Edition stopped allowing me to paste "jar:" protocol URLs even though it still loads the existing ones I bookmarked just fine
