Why isn't there a single domain for the angular project?

From what I can see there seems to be 2 main ones: angular.io (for angular 2) and angularjs.org (for angular 1.x) as well as angulardart.org and other sites for angular material design (material.angularjs.org) and angular firebase (firebase.com/docs/web/libraries/angular/). Why not have a single site (or at least a main domain with corresponding subdomains) with similar documentation and navigation?

In addition, searching for "angular" in Google provides no obvious distinction between the different sites. For a Google sponsored project, I would have expected better attention to the search meta-data to make the distinction clear.

You can try to search using DuckDuckGo as it highlights _official sites_. Really useful feature, even for quick one-time searches.

Aren't they both official sites though, just of their respective versions? (although admittedly, Angular 2 is still in the Developer Preview stage)


Part of the reason is so that they can track usage trends to see how long they should continue supporting Angular 1 after Angular 2 is released.


That could be solved by analytics on one domain.

For example, http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/.
