 Implement mkdocs to leverage features of readthedocs.com, but publish only on one platform. This would be planet.com unless we are making a concerted effort to recruit 3rd party contributors to the SDK, in which case, it could stay on readthedocs.com. So the publication landscape would be as follows:

+# _ReadTheDocs.io_ Content Management
+
+## Overview
+Pursuant to the [Content Plan](./content-plan.md) developed as part of the
+v2.0 release of the SDK, [_ReadTheDocs.io_](https://planet-sdk-for-python.readthedocs.io/)
+is used to host the single source of truth for SDK documentation.  SDK documentation
+is largely confined to the specifics of using the SDK.  More general Planet Platform
+narrative and HTTP API documentation should be hosted on the Planet documentation site
+at [docs.planet.com](https://docs.planet.com/).
+
+## Version Management
+_ReadTheDocs.io_ hosts multiple versions of the documentation simultaneously.
+All versions of the documentation will be published under a _ReadTheDocs.io_
+URL that explicitly includes the SDK version so that PyPi published packages
+will always have corresponding _ReadTheDocs.io_ documentation for users.
+
+Additionally, the following symbolic names are maintained:
+* [**default**](https://planet-sdk-for-python.readthedocs.io/) - Should point to same version as `stable`.
+* [**stable**](https://planet-sdk-for-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) - Should point to the highest stable release version.
+* [**latest**](https://planet-sdk-for-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) - Should point to the most recent build from the current mainline major version branch.
+
+Version management is handled by _ReadTheDocs.io_ [automation rules](https://app.readthedocs.org/dashboard/planet-sdk-for-python/rules/).
+
+## _ReadTheDocs.io_ Planet PBC Account
+Planet currently publishes to _ReadTheDocs.io_ as a [community](https://about.readthedocs.com/pricing/#/community)
+project.  It is understood that this means that ads may be displayed on hosted documentation.  (Ref: cleared
+with Planet Engineering Management in April 2025.)
