[db-wg] New Version of the RIPE Database Documentation is Available

Dear Colleagues,

The DB team are pleased to announce that a new version of the RIPE Database documentation is now available:
https://apps.db.ripe.net/docs/

We are using a common framework that we have across many RIPE NCC technical services, such as RIPEstat, RIPE Atlas, RIS and RIPE IPmap.

This framework has some advantages:

* Allows us to use a more modern layout that is common across these services.
* A built-in search field is now available at the top of each page.
* The documentation is stored in Markdown format, making it easier for the team to make changes, and accept outside contributions.
* We are now able to deploy changes together with a Whois or DB web application release.

Under the hood, the new documentation uses the VuePress framework: https://vuepress.vuejs.org

If you prefer not to use JavaScript, or to print or save the entire documentation, it is also available on a single page:
https://apps.db.ripe.net/docs/entire-documentation-(HTML)

The documentation contents are published on GitHub, please create a pull request or an issue to contribute improvements:
https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-database-documentation

Finally, we plan to migrate (redirect) the existing RIPE Database Documentation pages to the new site.
