Longshot: does anyone who follows me on here know anyone who knows anyone who might know someone on the JavaDoc development team? I think there's a bug in the new JavaDoc API and the maze of twisty paths to report a bug with Oracle is (a) described incorrectly in the JavaDoc FAQ and (b) probably pointless anyway.

@ndw they probably might not want to hear about it 🙈 :thisisfinefire:

@Heliograph Perhaps. But I hope they do. They went and completely replaced the JavaDoc API, it'd be nice if it was, uh, usable.

@ndw making truthful APIs requires real attention to detail which appears to be a vanishing skill nowadays

@ndw Beyond the general OpenJDK bug report page bugreport.java.com/bugreport/ the person you are looking for is almost certainly Jonathan Gibbons who you should be able to contact via github.com/jonathan-gibbons

@bondolo Thanks. Someone else said they would try to reach out. I'll let that go for a few days and if I haven't heard anything, I'll try reaching Jonathan Gibbons.
