Yes, fvwm.org comes at the top, Github is a bit lower in the search 
results of Duckduckgo in Australia.

I can see that /Archive/Manpages on fvwm.org contain all the commands 
(https://www.fvwm.org/Archive/Manpages/fvwm.html#lbBN). I could not find 
an index containing all commands. Would those pages, perhaps with a 
command index added and after removal of all the obsolete features, be 
an reasonable starting point for the official documentation of FVWM3 
commands?

Thanks. fvwm.org says 2.6.9 is a stable frozen release. Wikipedia says 
3-1.0.3 is the current stable release. Perhaps 2.6.9 should be referred 
to as the old stable on fvwm.org?

Found it, thanks, all clear now. One more question related to the versions:

/Wiki/Todo says under "Edits and Cleanup"
"Update syntax and versions to 2.6.x.". As 3-1.03 is now the stable 
release, does it mean the 2.6.x syntax will be fully maintained in 
FVWM3, or this is some legacy text in the Wiki page?
