docs opensource

Heroku is now sporting an updated docs layout at docs.heroku.com . These new docs should be much easier to navigate and link to.

The docs app is deployed as a regular app on Heroku (just like this blog ). Nothing special-case here: we deploy with git push, just like any other Heroku user. Dogfooding is good…
