In fact this is more important than that. The DevEdge articles were THE source of information and reference for especially JavaScript, but also CSS and most other browser-related techniques. That AOL simply shut the whole site down must have come as a shock to many and left many developers out in the dark. No matter who hosts the documentation, it is very good it is back.

In fact, it's even more important than that. As long as Microsoft's MSDN documents are easily found by searchers, Microsoft's retarded markup will be the supposed standard. Putting real, standards-based documents out there is an important job. And even just conflicting with Microsoft's documentation will be an important service; it should cause the intelligent reader to think "Hrmm, what's going on here? I'd better dig into this," which I think will favor the standard implementations over Microsoft's.
