Not sure that it is a good idea to point to an external site while the
original site of the project is still around:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/newbiedoc/.

At the same time, perhaps there are better resources than a project
that had no updates since 2011, or we could consider removing this
reference. I have never used it, but perhaps some find it useful.
