+Better MkDocs integration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Currently we don't have a good integration with MkDocs as we do with Sphinx.
+And it's hard to maintain compatibility with new versions.

+This project would include:
+
+* Support the latest version of MkDocs
+* Support downloads (`#1939`_)
+* Write a plugin to allow us to have more control over the build process (`#4924`_)
+* Support search (`#1088`_)
