Jane and Matt are the ones to ask on this, but I have it straight from both of them that the WordPress Codex will not be "dropped" but content will be used in building the new documentation via subversion. I don't have the latest information, but agree with Otto that we need to slow down and not jump. Nothing is happening too dramatic. The Codex still has value as a living document.<div>
<br></div><div>I presented to the group when the first announcements came out about how we can shift the Codex as the repository of support docs to something else. I suggested we explore more WordPress Lessons and how-to techniques, to share a greater wealth of customization and techniques beyond what is offered in the new documentation. I'd love to continue that discussion.</div>

anything about dropping the codex. The information there may be<br>
reorganized, but there's a lot of useful stuff there that I'm pretty<br>
sure we don't want to lose.<br>
<br>
I think everybody should calm down and back up a bit. There's no rapid<br>
changes occurring. We'll plan first, and people will be included.<br>
Really.<br>

> we just had a discussion in IRC regarding the upcomming changes of the <a href="http://wordpress.org" target="_blank">wordpress.org</a> website and it was said, that wordpress codex will be dropped (by wordpress core members). Next to the fact that this decission has been made totally intransparent and non-democratic, I'd like to get a database dump from codex wiki.<br>
