Here's an idea to help distinguish those docs from the current builds. The current manuals page (when it includes the original docs) looks like this:
-About -DITA -Original manuals ...or something to that effect, with each item expandable. What if we changed the name of that bottom item to "Previous versions" and added one more nested nav item within it for 10.0? So you'd have: -About -DITA +Previous versions -Version 10.0 Expanding the Version 10.0 twistee would of course bring up the originally contributed docs. Right now it might not make a lot of sense since we only have one previous version, but in time, when we fill that "Previous versions" heading with more releases, it makes for better organization, and I think it is less likely to confuse the new user. --- "Jean T.
