https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14313
For some reason I'm told by many committers that we should not have sets of documentation for other versions than the current version in a tree for that version. This has made it difficult, maybe impossible to have documentation for all the supported versions on the website at one time. As a solution I propose that we maintain the online documentation in a separate repository that is managed as the current repository under the guidance of the Apache Cassandra PMC (Project Management Committee); and that in the new repository . . . Please see the jira. I hope it's a good answer to everyone. KennethBrotman
