Hosting the FX 8 docs somewhere else wouldn't be useful. I presume you
are asking whether the FX 11 docs could be hosted somewhere?
We currently host the EA docs along with EA builds of OpenJFX 11 [1].
That will disappear at some point, although we will provide a link to
the Project Download page [2], which in turn has a pointer to Gluon's
JavaFX page [3]. That's where developers will go to get builds of JavaFX
going forward. Gluon had been talking about hosting the docs somewhere
(maybe on GitHub(, so perhaps Johan can comment.
