This is slightly off topic, but could be related to this. Does anyone have a good way to keep programming documentation offline and searchable for all of the languages and libraries you use? I'm primarily a Python, Java, C, Assembly, and PHP person. For Assembly I can just keep a copy of the ISA book but that does not really make it searchable.

Recently I had lost internet and had work that needed to be done. I ended up having to go to a coffee shop because I knew the name of a few functions I wanted to use but I didn't remember the calling semantics. I could have just tried it until it worked but I just took the excuse to go to Dunkin Donuts, grab a coffee, and work there.

Do they plan to release their Stack Overflow Documentation files? It would be a good way to start something like this. Make an offline and searchable version of this dataset with a uniform offline and searchable version of Python, Java, etc docs.
