Re: Google Season of Docs

I think this would be a great idea.
Most of the Octave manual was written a long time ago, and while
it hasn't gone out of date, it wouldn't hurt to re-read it and
freshen it up. Also, we have a format for documenting functions,
but not all docstrings have been updated to use it. Even simple
things like adding @seealso crosslinks in the documentation
between related functions would be an useful task.

See forwarded message below from GSOC regarding the Google
Summer of Docs they started last(?) year. I don't know if
that's something that Octave would be interested in
participating in.

"Season of Docs is a Google
program that fosters collaboration between open source
projects and technical writers. Details are on our
website: g.co/seasonofdocs . "

Examples from 2019 projects:
https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/2019/participants

I see things ranging from beginner guides, to tutorials,
to specific function documentation, to rescoping the full
document set.
