yes, i had to shut down the servers, they were extremely old, running very old versions of Ubuntu and got hacked all the time (and due to other real life constraints, I was unable to maintain them). The infrastructure was running modx, which got performance/security issues constantly, and the website was very out of date.

I'd like to work with @jspricke and @SergioRAgostinho and @taketwo and @kunaltyagi to see which parts of the website were still useful and bring them back separately one by one. We should also aim to take advantage of GitHub services as much as possible in this process.

Some breathing room for people looking for api reference
https://pointcloudlibrary.github.io/documentation/

Thank you very much!
Actually I tried to build the documentation by myself but the usual

mkdir build && cmake .. && make

didn't create any documentation :(

We use this configuration on our CI:

cmake .. -DDOXYGEN_USE_SHORT_NAMES=OFF \
            -DSPHINX_HTML_FILE_SUFFIX=php \
            -DWITH_DOCS=ON \
            -DWITH_TUTORIALS=ON

@jspricke Can we have a pointcloudlibrary.github.io repository?

i just redirected the main URL to point to the docs site that @SergioRAgostinho posted

There has some old but useful tutorial pages on old "pointcloud.org". I hope we can host the website again on the " pointcloudlibrary.github.io" page.

some useful page: "Create cmake file with PCL", "Using PCL on your QT Program"

I put the normal tutorials up on read the docs for the time being
https://pcl-tutorials.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

@kunaltyagi I created the repo, ping me if you need help and thanks for working on this!

Thank you for the fast solution ! Best regards

@jspricke can we make it public so that users can submit normal PRs if desired?

Jochen Sprickerhof · Answer 12 · Sun May 03 2020 03:42:01 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Done, I thought I created it public and without the test at the end, did someone change that?

Kunal Tyagi · Answer 13 · Sun May 03 2020 03:45:20 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

The new repo caused havoc in github page's redirection, so I tried to reset the effect, by making it private, but it didn't work. It worked after I renamed it, but then I forgot to make it public again.
