Sebastien,

This is great, thank you!

There were a few bugs in our existing tooling for rendering docs on the
site which has prevented rendering the docs as-is (delayed on part;
although JakeF offered to help). I am inclined to switch entirely to what
you've contributed here seeing -- what do others think?

A few questions this

* Are folks ok with a switch from markdown to rst?
* Can this handle translated docs as well? Long-term we may want that.
* Can we automate the generation of these docs? The solution we were close
to going live with was a simple rake command.

Thanks again,

Dave
