Seaborn: Find new home for docs

[mwaskom]

My Stanford website will be deactivated sometime in the fall. Need to find a new home and set up appropriate redirects.

[yarmenti]

Right, the site is now out.

[anoroozian]

Could you temporarily make the documentation available as a compressed file on Github for offline use?

[TomAugspurger]

@mwaskom want me to grab the seaborn Github name and throw the HTML docs up at seaborn.github.io? Should only take a few minutes. Or if you'd rather wait to hear back about pydata. Just trying to head off the flood of bug reports :/

[mwaskom]

Irritatingly, the seaborn user/org name is already taken on github, even though https://github.com/seaborn doesn't exist.

[TomAugspurger]

Oh... that is irritating.

[mwaskom]

Maybe I'll ask Stanford to set up redirect to https://altair-viz.github.io/ :)

I use seaborn for plots in my thesis, which is due rather soon. I don't have a Linux machine available, so cannot run the makefile myself unfortunately and don't have much experience with Sphinx, I'm afraid. Anyone can help me get the docs in some form?

Ps. why not host the the docs in this repo through gh-pages ?

@TomAugspurger awesome! Thanks a ton

[mwaskom]

Notwithstanding my trolling about this on Twitter, the serious answer here is that I actually think Stanford deactivating my website was a mistake (I have an approved request for account extension) and am trying to sort that out with Stanford IT. But in the medium term the plan is to move to pydata.org.

Why not readthedocs? It will take 3 minutes to set up.

[pmadhikar]

As a short term work around, I found a snapshot on archive.org here
It was made on Aug. 8 though so it might be slightly out of date.

The build process for seaborn's docs is a bit more exotic than RTD can handle.

Hm, too bad. Alternatively, you could go with https://mwaskom.github.io/seaborn however that becomes problematic if maintainers may switch in far future :P. However, unless you delete your github account, you could always setup a redirect to whatever future site you may end up using

[jaypeedevlin]

Mac users can download dash and use the user-contributed seaborn docset, if that's easier than building the docs locally...

[nils-werner]

Judging from glancing at http://seaborn2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ it seems to build mostly fine on RTD with just two lines changed in devel_requirements_py2.txt.

[jaypeedevlin]

Looks like the tutorial page didn't build: http://seaborn2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html

[mwaskom]

OK folks calm down there is a github pages version of the site live at https://seaborn.github.io/. Let me know if you see any issues with the build.

[wvangeit]

@mwaskom Maybe in the mean time you could change the link to the docs on https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn to point to new github.io pages ?
(Took me quite some time to find the docs, until I saw a post on Reddit about this issue)

[nateGeorge]

Yeah I'm just submitting a PR for that #1052

[gforsyth]

Until the pydata hosting is sorted, you might find https://github.com/drdoctr/doctr useful for building docs on travis and deploying them to github pages (if you get sick of doing it manually).

[mwaskom]

New docs are now at http://seaborn.pydata.org (and also http://seaborn.github.io, where they are actually hosted).

[mwaskom]

@nils-werner Can you please take down the http://seaborn2.readthedocs.io/ page? It is confusing google.

[nils-werner]

It's gone.

[mwaskom]

Thanks!

[szeitlin]

The pydata page with the docs is not loading. :( I can probably get by with the wayback machine version just to jog my memory, but you might want to check into this if you haven't already.

[mwaskom]

Looks like pydata.org itself is down.
