Include a "Documentation" tab in the website

Bug Description

It would be nice if the documentation website got more prominence from the website: not that many people know about it. I think, consistently with other open source projects, that a "Documentation" top level tab would be beneficial, rather than having Documentation placed underneath "Support".

Now that documentation is no longer to be found on wiki.ubuntu.com, the "Wiki" tab seems less justifiable, as it overlaps with "Community", and not everybody knows what "wiki" means. I think integrating a link to the wiki within the Community section, and replacing the "Wiki" tab with a "Documentation" tab would be worthwhile.

This sort of change would need extensive discussion.

I continue to see people all around the community confused about the various parts of the Ubuntu website, and finding it difficult to find the documentation.

I am still of the view that Documentation should have a top level tab, because it is not in fact logically within "Support" at all, so people may not generally think to look there.

However, I understand that the decision has already been taken against including such a tab, and so I'm just hoping for some reasons and discussion on this bug for now.
