The goal is to eventually switch fully to Antora (/docs) and remove fully l=
egacy website (/src/site - currently deployed with pain)=C2=A0

We would re=
tain homepage (src/homepage)

Antora needs a lot of cleanup to make it happ=
en=2E Especially:
=C2=A0- We shall better aggregate doc from libraries (MIM=
E4J, JDKIM, JSPF, JSIEVE)
=C2=A0- We shall IMO remove concepts and develope=
r guide version
=C2=A0- Some items like download needs to be adapted
=C2=A0=
- We NEED to handle documentation at least for JPA (today called basic=2E=
=2E=2E)
=C2=A0- I'd love to remove spring app so I bet this is no longer ne=
eded in the doc=2E
=C2=A0- Relook it a bit and ship it !

src/adr is unrela=
ted and not incorporated on any websites=2E=2E=2E We shall still writte adr=
s on significant changes=2E

Does this address your questions ?--=C2=A0

On May 19, 2026 10:06 AM, from Quan Tran Hong <quan=2Etranhong1999@gmail=
=2Ecom>Hi Felix,

I think it is the case as you described=2E

&gt; What is =
the main documentation of James that should be altered when
contributing? S=
hould the other one be kept in sync?

Today, we maintain both the Antora do=
cs and the legacy XML docs=2E

I think the goal would be to make the Antora=
 docs complete and mature
enough so that eventually we can keep only the An=
tora doc and replace the
XML one=2E

Regards,

Quan
