Proposal: move all documentation to pelias/pelias for hosting on https://pelias.io #262

Description

@orangejulius

We originally have this documentation repo only because Mapzen needed project documentation to be in its own repo so that it could be easily deployed to the Mapzen website. Back then, we didn't really even fully articulate the differences between Mapzen Search (Mapzen's hosted instance of Pelias), and Pelias itself.

At this point all that is history, and we can consider what we could gain by making the main source of Pelias documentation hosted on the Pelias website, https://pelias.io

Here are some:

  • One less repo :)
  • Having the main source of Pelias documentation on a website allows us to customize how it's displayed
  • We would be able to build up the SEO presence of the pelias.io site by linking to it much more heavily
  • It's very hard to do "redirects" on GitHub, we have lots of files that basically say "documentation moved to somewhere else" since we can't delete the original file without breaking links
