    The documentation, specifically on the json files and modding, are very spread around in this forum. Since I guess it's a uber whatever license, copying and editing of the stuff is not so smart.

    So why not do the following?

    1. Uber; Please give us a CC or MIT license for docs
    2. Community: Copy the Docs to a public repo.
    3. Create Awesome Docs
    4. Everyone Profit

    If we would use github's infrastructure and markdown files, all the required tools would be in place. In some weeks, there would be a nice set of docs.

    If enough people care, I would start this project. There is just the license issue
    lokiCML and cola_colin like this.

    License issue? Uber has not provided any documentation. The game API is in complete flux anyway.
    So if you want to document it nobody will stop you and you can use whatever license you like for your documentation.

    I'm not really sure that a MIT style license is designed for documentation. Perhaps using creative commons
    attribution-sharealike 4.0 international or GNU free documentation license version 1.3 would be better. Besides that it's really not the time to do their as cola_colin pointed out.
