Now that 1.2 features have started to merge (great work everyone
involved with the Email backends and ManyToMany refactorings, they
look fantastic) we're entering one of those relatively rare periods of
instability in trunk. This is exactly the kind of time that we want
most of our regular users to be sticking with the 1.1.1 release, while
the super-engaged community members try out the new stuff as it's
added.

There's just one problem: http://docs.djangoproject.com/ defaults to
displaying the development docs. In fact, there isn't even an option
to see frozen docs for 1.1 (just an option to see them for 1.0). These
are going to start being pretty confusing for 1.1.1 users, for example
the e-mail docs now cover backends:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/

We include "New in Django Development version" warnings, but it still
feels a bit odd. In a post-1.0 world, I think it would make more sense
for the documentation linked to directly from the
docs.djangoproject.com homepage to cover the most recent official
release, with a bit less emphasis on the development version's docs.
Basically what the Python docs at http://docs.python.org/ do.

I may have missed a previous conversation about this, if so please
feel free to direct me to the old thread.

Cheers,

Simon
