Will documents/css etc be on the domain hosting or github? If on github - in 
what repository? 

I'm not insisting on using Gollum/Smeagol, just think that they offer some cool 
options in good line with our branching model. And they also use Markdown...? 

As long as the documentation can be versioned/branched, I think we have come a 
good step forward! :-)

So by "generated" you could also say "included"? There's no extraction process 
generating some doc files involved in the build then, right?

But how do you want those documents to be "close to the code"? 

Isn't the issue more "close at hand"? Easy to get to and edit? I think Gollum 
would help here, since you would then be able to sit on the plane with a local 
copy of the qi4j-docs and have a cosy time writing up a little about the latest 
cool functions and then merge it when online again :-)

Thanks for pushing this issue - better/more avilable/updated documentation will 
attract more collaborators and Qi4j deserves worlwide boost!

Cheers,
Marc
