IMHO having your documentation editable and living in a repository is much
more manageable than via an external wiki. It enables someone to both make
changes to some code/interface AND make changes to the documentation in the
same commit! By encouraging this as well we can keep our documentation much
more up to date than if it were to live in a separate place. The other nice
property of storing documentation in the repository is that we can "freeze"
it with releases so that people can get accurate documentation for whatever
version they are working with (without lots of noise in the documentation).

If the project wasn't mirrored at github.com/apache/mesos then I'd suggest
changing the format of the documentation, but since we should just be able
to point people to the documentation nicely rendered in github, it seems
like a straightforward first step.
