[Bug 1090297] [NEW] MAAS "View Documentation" link points to unrelated version of docs

[Eric Williams]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

in the MAAS Dashboard, there's a link "View Documentation". This
points to the upstream page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MAAS/.

This offers a manual redirect to http://maas.ubuntu.com.  This 
appears to be documentation from the current daily build, and will
contain information that's probably not relevant to the installed
version.

Also, the documentation for any particular version, such as the one
in Precise, appears to only be available by checking out the sources
and building the documentation manually.

It would be better if the docs for a particular version were installed
with MAAS, and the documentation link would point to that version,
stored locally.

Alternatively, http://maas.ubuntu.com/ could host docs for all supported
versions.

Thanks,
Eric
