The legacy documentation files have been successfully integrated into the new documentation structure.

Changes Made​

1. Architecture Documentation​

  • Moved: docs/architecture.md → docs/guides/architecture.md
  • Reason: Detailed technical architecture belongs in the guides section for developers who need deeper understanding
  • Updated References:
    • docs/getting-started/introduction.md - Added cross-reference
    • docs/api/README.md - Updated 3 references
    • README.md (root) - Updated 3 references
    • packages/react/README.md - Updated reference
    • packages/server/README.md - Updated reference
    • packages/core/README.md - Updated reference

2. Contributing Documentation​

  • Moved: docs/contributing.md → CONTRIBUTING.md (root)
  • Reason: GitHub standard practice - GitHub automatically links to CONTRIBUTING.md from PR/issue interface
  • Updated References:
    • docs/api/README.md - Updated 2 references
    • README.md (root) - Updated 2 references
    • CONTRIBUTING.md - Updated link to docs/publishing.md

3. Publishing Documentation​

  • Location: docs/publishing.md (kept in place)
  • Reason: Already in correct location for maintainer documentation
  • Updated References:
    • docs/api/README.md - Updated reference
    • README.md (root) - Already correct
    • CONTRIBUTING.md - Already correct

Benefits​

  1. Clear Separation: User-facing docs (docs/getting-started/, docs/guides/) vs. contributor/maintainer docs (CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/publishing.md)
  2. Better Organization: Architecture guide is discoverable in guides section alongside other advanced topics
  3. GitHub Integration: CONTRIBUTING.md at root follows GitHub conventions and is automatically linked
  4. Maintainability: All documentation is in appropriate locations with consistent structure

Notes​

  • The docs/api/_media/ directory contains auto-generated copies that will be regenerated on the next TypeDoc build
  • Planning documents in docs/documentation/ still reference old paths but are for future reference only
  • All active documentation references have been updated
