AFAIK addictivecode.org is maintained by Micah Cowan, who is no longer 
taking part in wget. I'm fine with that, as I am with removing all 
@addictivecode.org e-mail addresses from the docs.

But IMO wget.addictivecode.org has great documentation about some wget 
aspects not found in the official docs[1], such as how to compile 
(dependencies required, etc.)  or how to navigate through the source, 
which in spite of all the changes the code has suffered over time, is 
still kept relevant.

Lots of information there proved to be really useful to me when I 
started working on wget, and it still is. I have a couple of pages 
bookmarked in my browser. Removing all references to Micah's docs 
without first migrating them to the official docs is a real pity for me.

There's still a link in the official site[2], but keeping a link there 
and not in the texi looks kind of inconsistent to me.
