Our new one-stop shopping support portal is live at https://support.hdfgroup.org/.

Happy Friday, everybody! You might disagree, but at The HDF Group, we care deeply about documentation. One of our biggest mistakes was departing from a single-entry support site and fragmenting it into a bazillion DNS subdomains. You probably needed 5+ bookmarks in your browser to keep tabs on this maze. Last night, we retired the old support site and replaced it with what will eventually mature into a seamless one-stop experience.

I say “mature” because, in its current form, it is far from perfect. For example, it cobbles together different documentation silos, and there is not yet a site-wide search function. But it is finally on an evolutionary path. Similar to when we started treating docs like code, the site is under version control, and I want to invite you to help us improve it. Please create an issue or send us a PR; the whole community will be better off!

If you prefer the old site’s charm, it’s still there! Check out https://support.hdfgroup.org/archive/support/index.html or follow the Archive link in the sidebar, and enjoy the sound of vinyl!

Finally, thank you for your patience and support, and my colleagues for completing this critical step. To those of you in the United States, Happy Labor Day!
