This is a big management issue, and as Stephen suggests I also think that ALL 
DOCS require to be hard versioned on the website, and that the default 
symlinks to the latest released version, but all older versions should also 
be available.
I suggest that we put in place a system, where documentation is tagged at 
every release with the Version ( ex, V1_3 ), and if it needs update, it is 
branched and updated in the CVS branch.
That means that HEAD is always ahead of the release, just like code, and can 
be managed from source point of view.
And when generating the site, we need to pull out the properly tagged version 
(NOT HEAD) and generate into a directory of that version, and then do the 
symlink.
Complicated, yes, somewhat... These are the kind of stuff that Maven should 
help us with.

I agree 148.3% !!!
APR have probably nailed this down (I dare to say without checking), so let's 
not re-invent the wheel.
