A decision was made not to support internal use cases with GoDoc. While I dislike this decision, and it was obviously not a community made one, the code could be forked and converted to support a variety of providers.

That said, I cannot find where pkg.go.dev's code resides. This development, at a minimum, should be public -- if not community involved.

Even worse: https://go.dev/about

To add a package or module, simply fetch it from proxy.golang.org. Documentation is generated based on Go source code downloaded from the proxy.golang.org/@.zip. New module versions are fetched from index.golang.org and added to the go.dev site every few minutes.

Athens might support some of the stuff needed to do this, but essentially there will have to be a FOSS project that follows the proprietary development being done here to remain effective for enterprises to use. That doesn't really seem a stable or scalable plan to move forward with without deep coordination.

This is what I'm requesting:

  1. Post the code for pkg.go.dev
  2. Post the code for GoProxy
  3. License them appropriately so they're usable internally
  4. Involve stakeholders in the future development of common/community tools (Stakeholders being companies using Go)
