Hi, Thanks.
About the next steps: We mostly think in terms of the overall goal, and the concrete next steps somehow happen. For us the end goal is a moldable environment that integrates all workflows related to development. Documentation is one of those development activities that are both pervasive and typically disliked, so it is only natural that we want to aim to create a full experience for it within the environment. What is more interesting to us is that we could create this experience without much effort due to the flexibility of the underlying framework. There is still engineering work to do, but I think the most difficult part is to rethink the way we approach UI given these new abilities.
