https://behaviortree.github.io/BehaviorTree.CPP/ documentation page is down

[George-Gi]

The documentation webpage doesn't work anymore

[facontidavide]

because it is not supposed to. check www.behaviortree.dev

README updated with the correct link

[sven-hoek]

May I aske why you removed it, @facontidavide ? Both pages are useful - behaviortree.dev has guides and deeper going documentation but doesn't cover some of the nodes, whereas the github.io one has an overview over all TreeNodes etc.

As you mentioned here #649 (comment)

The best option is to read the comments in the header files, most of the time.

The github.io link linked the Doxygen documentation (I still have it up under my fork, just as an example) with much of the info one would get from reading the header files. Just another, sometimes more convenient way to access it.
It was merged in with this PR #972 and it's still being built in this repo in the CI/CD step, so probably just needs GH Pages reactivated in order to get it back.

If you don't want the Doxygen stuff up on the web, that's your decision, of course. I do think it is complementary to the doc on behaviortee.dev and I used it once in a while when I did BT stuff. That's why I set it up in the first place. I found it more convenient than having to download the source code and run Doxygen locally. Or search through the header files.

This also regards #1052 wich seems to be a duplicate of this one. Seeing that there's at least 2 people creating an issue about it, there were others than me who found the Doxygen doc useful to be on the web.

I completely agree with this. The automatically generated documentation was quite useful and covered areas that the www.behaviortree.dev doesn't.

I have a limited amount of time and I can not maintain both

[sven-hoek]

Fair enough. I already appreciate you writing/maintaining this library (and other tools), it's cool work. And probably plenty.
The doc on behaviortree.dev is very good and fairly complete but missing one or the other node type.

As of now, there has been no maintenance effort required to keep it going, except what's necessary anyway for Doxygen (this probably stays true until anything regarding the publish-GH-page-Action changes), so I might once in a while update my fork of the repo and let the CI/CD build/publish the latest doc so that I and anyone else could still access it here.

The Action is still running on the main repo, too, so probs all that's needed to get the page back is to reactivate the GH Page and wait for the next CI/CD run. If the action at some point fails, it would be the only time any maintenance was required, at which point the support of it can simply cease.

If you still want to keep it inactive now, be advised that the README currently states

An automatically generated API documentation can be found here: https://www.behaviortree.dev/

However, there's no auto-generated API doc under that link.
