As of 2015-04-06 telepathy has no recent online documentation whatsoever. This makes it very difficult to develop anything with it. It would be good to publish a pre-built HTML version of the book from the telepathy-docs repository. It currently fails to build because of syntax errors in docs/book/insert-*.py. It depends on inkscape and lxml so it's not extremely trivial to build them. It would also be good to publish a pre-built HTML version of the specification from the telepathy-spec repository. It currently fails to build because of syntax errors in tools/doc-generator.py. It also depends on cheetah which is unmaintained and also contains many syntax errors so it's even less trivial to build it.
This is not true. The documentation was never offline. The only problem was that the wiki pages linking to the documentation were erased (due to a spam bot attack and wiki conversion later). The wiki issue has been addressed now, and will continue being improved. For the record, you can browse all the documentation from: https://telepathy.freedesktop.org/doc/ The book can be found here: https://telepathy.freedesktop.org/doc/book/ ...and the spec here: https://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/ I was not aware of the build issues (although I recently built the spec without any problems), but these deserve different bug reports. I will keep this in mind.
