• replaced hardcoded latest links with relative links
• removed Site map (not needed IMO)
• improved presentation of bulleted list of sections
• updated Copyright year

@mbrush here's my first bit of feedback on your docs. I just focused on the index.rst landing page. mostly technical, main takeaway here is Do NOT use static references to latest RTD sections, use relative links within the doc so folks don't inadvertantly switch to a different RTD instance unknowingly. I also think we should discuss how to "slim" things down or re-org so that it's not so overwhelming to folks coming in for the first time.

I think we should consider an "Appendix" and embed several of the later sections under it so that it doesn't look like so much. We should also consider NOT putting in any sections that are "COMING SOON" as my experience is that it leaves folks feeling like it is unfinished and they loose interest and motivation to proceed much quicker.

I think it's fine to carve out a plan for the "missing" sections, but you can add them when they emerge instead of trying to predict. Less is more. And only provide sections if you have something to offer. If you want to put a "What's coming?" section in the appendix and discuss the "To be developed or coming attractions" stuff that's fine.

So please look over this draft and if you like it we can merge it. I can help go through the remaining portion of the doc and fix up the hardcoded lnks with relative ones if you want.

@mbrush BTW in case you forgot you can view the RTD build for this PR under the "Show all checks" link above and then drill into the last check for the RTD build. You'll find the "View Docs" button soon after.

Thanks @larrybabb . Still new to RTD so I didn’t know about the relative reference feature. Will update pages and use this going forward.

As for slimming and re-organizing - agreed, and working on this, and would love your input. I had planned on something more concise for the first pass - but it kinda snowballed and I just needed to get something up for connect. That said, I don't necessarily think there is too much content overall - maybe could just be organized better. Again, I'd love to hear your thoughts here.
