Documentation

[Jonathan Ellis]

Hi all,

In light of the confusion around documentation (people asking on dev list
about driver docs or DataStax docs), I think we should accelerate the plans
to finish migrating our official documentation from the MoinMoin wiki to
our source tree.

Briefly, the technical problems with Moin aren't going away and having the
docs in tree means we can version them by release for free.

(We still want to use a wiki for contributor-oriented pages like
HowToContribute, but user-level docs like GettingStarted and Operations
will be moved into tree.  And even the contributor wiki needs to move to
Confluence  because
MoinMoin sucks.)

I've attached an outline of what I think we need to migrate to the ticket
.
