we need to find some way to get a Wendy Smoak-type person interested
in helping out around here.  she has far more expertise and patience
for build and doc issues than i could ever dream of having...  :)

anyway, here's my thoughts:

- whoever's ready and willing to jump in and do work on the site
building/doc stuff will pretty much always get my support for whatever
they want to do with it.   let them who do the work make the
decisions. :)  so, +1 to anyone willing to step up and execute their
plan to solve this.

- that said, don't we have two sections on the site for each project?
the little fixes and stuff should always go in the development docs
for the project, and these should be based of the trunk or a branch.
once there has been a new release, then we tag that release and update
the release docs using that tag.  if, in the meantime, the X.x release
docs online for some project are broken, then c'est la vie.  those
were the docs for the release.

- i'm not keen on the idea of separating the docs from the release
cycle.  i'd rather see us consider doc upgrades and fixes as worthy of
an X.x.x release.

- to reiterate:  the last two points are my opinions at the moment.
i'll happily follow the lead of someone actually doing the work, even
if they go a different way.

For now, the scripts on velocity.zones use tags (as stated by "svn info"
in /export/home/velocity/deploy/releases/velocity-texen-1.0-site), but I
wonder if it is the proper choice, since tags are not supposed to
evolve... it'd be quite heavy to have to create a new tag each time we
correct a bad link.

The way to go would IMO to link online sites to branches, since online
sites can be newer than docs included in the last released version.
Also, sticking to tags would mean having to issue an "svn switch" for
each fix we've got to put online.

I can setup this (by svn-switching checkouts) if you consider it
appropriate.
