"Single source of truth" documentation

[ghost]

Is the documentation currently maintained/updated?

https://developers.google.com/closure/library/docs/overview https://google.github.io/closure-library

Is there interest in having a single source of truth that people can point to? There are a few issues open regarding documentation: #968, #963, #856, #861

Neither is particularly relevant. The developers.google.com documentation was written by someone outside our team years ago and we don't own it. The github.io documentation was supposed to be a version that we owned, and we got a tech writer to work with us, but he bailed out before we really got it off the ground. The idea was to scrub and mirror a bunch of our internal docs, but that has not actually happened.

At this point, it's not clear what makes the most sense w.r.t. documenting Closure, if ultimately the thing we want to recommend going forward is a new "Closure Good Parts" library that we extract out of it - it's going to look different enough that the docs should probably be started fresh for that, specifically.

For reference, which are these "Good Parts", @shicks?
