I am opening this issue as a potential avenue for some thoughtful, respectful community discussion about the current state of the plotly R package, it's relationship and support by the Plotly organization, and potential paths forward for community maintenance.
According to this community announcement, the Plotly organization is preparing to retire R documentation in November 2025.
It would be fantastic to see an entity like Posit pick up the torch and host the documentation (or even support more maintenance efforts to get the R plotly documentation back up to date) in a similar manner to how it supported the "tidyverse" - perhaps just wishful thinking on my part though.
In lieu of a knight-in-shining-armor swooping in, what might be the best path to transition documentation to a new hosting location?
