Hi Shaun:

Recall the above referenced thread. Small excerpt from first message below:

We concluded that we would have a look at it for the 17.04 cycle.

The thing is, the web site stuff pretty automated and very easy at
the moment, so I don't see the need to switch to some new tool
right now.

I think the use of some new tool should be considered whenever we
have to do some significant re-structuring for some other reason.
As Gunnar mentioned somewhere in the thread, Unity 8
Documentation will eventually be coming along. So maybe then.

If someone else want to take this one on and run with it, please do.
