- Deprecation of Blue Ocean & documentation tasks
- Update status/note at top of page
- Look for potential replacement documentation (extended pipeline graph view documentation, other documentation)
- Unless it’s best to just remove/redirect away from it
- Potentially move the blue ocean documentation to a different area
- Would the version documentation take care of this problem for us if it is not part of ‘latest’
- Quite a few tutorials & documentation linked to Blue Ocean
- Things that were written recently have had the Blue Ocean reference removed in favor of Pipeline Graph View
- Basic usage of Pipeline Graph View covers what Blue Ocean offers. There are some things Blue Ocean can do specifically, but this does not necessarily mean the Pipeline Graph View is not enough.
- Infra still uses it as well at this time, so it is very clear how important Blue Ocean is for some users
- New users should start with Pipeline Graph View (for a better experience)
- Asia Docs office hours for 4/19 canceled, resume week after
