Hi,

We need to decide how we want to document xwiki.org with regards to  
project versions and skins. For example the screenshot and features  
described can depend on 2 factors:
- the project version (XE version for ex)
- the skin used

Project versions
=============

We have several choices:
1) We make the doc only for the latest version and in this case we  
should probably export the pages at release time and make it available  
as a zipped HTML export so that people using the older version can  
refer to them.
2) We make the doc work the last 2 releases. That would be either 2.1  
and 2.0.5 or 2.2M1 and 2.1 depending on how we view it and depending  
on whether we want to document on xwiki.org before we release or not.

Personally I think I prefer option 1 with a little addition:
- whenever something that is new to the last release is documented, we  
should add a little "New" logo (possibly with the version value, "New  
in 2.2" for example). This could be done with a wiki macro.

If option 1 is chosen then we need to add a step to the release process.

Skins
====

Again we have several choices:
1) Document only for the latest skin
2) Document for all supported skins. Right now that would be Toucan +  
Colibri (not sure about Albatross, I don't think we've officially said  
it wasn't supported).

If we were to do 2) then this that for example this page 
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/WatchlistApplication 
  would need to contain screenshots for all supported skins *OR* there  
should be different screenshots only when the skins have different  
features. This is the case here since the location of menus and  
actions are quite different.

I'm hesitating more for this one...
1) is definitely easier for us so I'm tempted to propose 1) but with  
the proviso that we make it clear in the text when a feature is  
available only for a given skin (for ex: the Show Code menu action is  
avail in Colibri but not in Toucan).

WDYT?

When we agree we should put the result on dev.xwiki.org in a new page  
describing how xwiki.org is documented.

Thanks
-Vincent
