Feedback: Open-source the documentation under MIT or CC0 for System.Reactive

[ghuntley]

Howdy Folks

I'm opening this again as https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/feedback/issues/114#issuecomment-399601350 was prematurely closed.

Problem:

See stream at 2h 22 minute mark at https://twitter.com/GeoffreyHuntley/status/1026413749819691009

The guidance provided by Microsoft is as System.Reactive (even though it's in the system namespace) isn't produced by Microsoft then documentation cannot exist on docs.microsoft.com. Historically this was not the case and all of the MSDN documentation since 2009 has been archived and unlisted from google.

See https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/feedback/issues/114#issuecomment-398951559

Request:

Please release the documentation that has been archived to the community under an open-source license.

@dend assign to you since this is related to .net open source.

The scope of this request is _just_ system.reactive MSDN documentation.

Hi folks,

We are looking at what is the correct path with this specific request - we will update this thread once more information becomes available from various teams that are part of the conversation.
