Comment (by atachibana):

 I am 100% agree to "APIs Handbook" that will gather WordPress.org APIs and
 Core APIs listed in right side of
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/]. Currently, Plugins Handbook
 covers some of them but many API entry pages remain in Codex. If we can
 provide them in DevHub, developer must feel convenient.

 I have some proposal based on the last docs team meeting with @Kenshino
 and @milana_cap

 **Page Structure**

 Each API page (except REST API, which has independent handbook) should
 have Overview, Description, Usage examples and list of functions.

 **Table of Contents**

 - Dashboard widgets
 - Database
 - HTTP API
 - Filesystem
 - Metadata
 - Options
 - Plugins
 - Quicktags
 - REST API
 - Rewrite
 - Settings
 - Shortcode
 - Theme Modification
 - Transients
 - XML-RPC
 -
 - WordPress.org
 - Central (for WordCamp)
 - WordPress.tv
 - Translation

 **Creation Workflow

 1. (meta) Create page structure under the https://developer.wordpress.org
 2. (docs) Migrate Codex Pages or Copy from Themes/Plugins Handbook to
 there
 3. (core) Review and Update by the Core reps. Some of contents might be
 out of date.
 4. (docs) Release
