Summary

The Sentry documentation has been consolidated into a single, central location at docs.sentry.io, improving ease of access and bug tracking workflow integration with other tools in the stack. The documentation was previously scattered across various Open Source projects, making it challenging to find relevant information. To address this issue, Sentry unified its documentation using Sphinx, a documentation tool that was extended to meet specific needs. The new system includes features such as customizable sidebar navigation, dynamic elements like authentication status and API key information, and wizards for guided setup processes. The documentation is built from individual component repositories, with a push hook synchronizing changes to the master repository, and is shipped with the Sentry server tarballs.
