[scikit-learn] Documentation proposal

[Vlad Niculae]

Indeed, thank you, Gael!

My 2c, not thought through very thoroughly, is that although a "related
tutorials" would be great, it would be considerably more of a maintenance
burden than scikit-learn-contrib, because docs go staler faster than code.
We *could* force all code in the doc to be runnable and unit-tested, but
that is probably not sufficient, because checking the text cannot really be
done automatically. It would be great if we could figure out a system to
enable community maintenance of related docs & tutorial without letting
them go out of date, I think that's something we can think about.

Yours,
Vlad
