[IPython-dev] Confusion about dev docs...take 2...

OK, let me try this again...

Here is what our Sphinx docs say about "Development related docs":

###
This are two categories of developer focused documentation:

Documentation for developers of IPython itself.
Documentation for developers of third party tools and libraries that
use IPython.

This part of our documentation only contains information in the second category.

Developers interested in working on IPython itself should consult our
developer information on the IPython GitHub wiki.
###

To me this suggests that anything related to writing code for IPython
should go in the GitHub wiki. That is what I thought we were doing.
OK, all of that makes sense to me.

But then I just saw the Python 2+3 dev docs were put into the Sphinx docs:

http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/development/pycompat.html

Shouldn't this be on Github as it only really relates to people
writing code for IPython?

Cheers,

Brian
