# 📦 Documentation Migration Guide

## What Changed?

NOFX documentation has been reorganized into a structured `docs/` directory for better organization and navigation.

## 🗺️ File Locations (Old → New)

### Deployment Guides
- `DOCKER_DEPLOY.en.md` → `docs/getting-started/docker-deploy.en.md`
- `DOCKER_DEPLOY.md` → `docs/getting-started/docker-deploy.zh-CN.md`
- `CUSTOM_API.md` → `docs/getting-started/custom-api.md`

### Community Docs
- `HOW_TO_POST_BOUNTY.md` → `docs/community/bounty-guide.md`
- `INTEGRATION_BOUNTY_HYPERLIQUID.md` → `docs/community/bounty-hyperliquid.md`
- `INTEGRATION_BOUNTY_ASTER.md` → `docs/community/bounty-aster.md`

### Internationalization
- `README.zh-CN.md` → `docs/i18n/zh-CN/README.md`
- `README.ru.md` → `docs/i18n/ru/README.md`
- `README.uk.md` → `docs/i18n/uk/README.md`
- `常见问题.md` → `docs/guides/faq.zh-CN.md`

### Root Directory (Unchanged)
These stay in the root for GitHub recognition:
- `README.md` ✅ (stays in root)
- `LICENSE` ✅ (stays in root)
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` ✅ (stays in root)
- `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` ✅ (stays in root)
- `SECURITY.md` ✅ (stays in root)
