Description

As I've been learning how to use the library and googling questions on how to use different commands, I've come across 3 different URLs for the documentation site. Perhaps they all actually point to the same documentation, but as a regular user, I start worrying if one of the documentation sites I'm using is out of date. Especially because all of the links look fairly similar

Links:

  1. https://mongoengine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
  2. https://docs.mongoengine.org/
  3. https://mongoengine-odm.readthedocs.io/index.html (likely just a subdomain of the first?)

Which documentation site is the recommended / official one, and is it possible to archive the others just to prevent confusion amongst users?

Research direction

Review the three listed documentation URLs and compare whether they serve the same or different content. Start by checking the current project documentation references and the linked sites' status. Done means identifying the recommended official URL and documenting whether the other sites can be archived or redirected.
