You'll still find it in the same place on our [website](https://dcc-ex.com), but it will have a new look and the initial primary focus will be on enabling those people who are new to DCC-EX and need to get started. -This current documentation will be retained as [legacy documentation](https://dcc-ex.com/legacy-docs/), with our more technical reference documentation being incorporated as time allows. +It's equally important we don't lose all the detailed knowledge gained over the years, so the current documentation will be retained as [legacy documentation](https://dcc-ex.com/legacy-docs/).
