(I started a thread about this a while back, but restarting now as I've 
actually effected a change.)

Our docs now have new additional URLs:

   docs.geoserver.org/2.0.x
     is now also
   docs.geoserver.org/stable

   docs.geoserver.org/trunk
     is now also
   docs.geoserver.org/latest

If this is acceptable to folks, then I would request that instead of linking to 
version specific docs viz:

   http://docs.geoserver.org/2.0.x/en/user/extensions/rest/rest-config-api.html

we instead link to the stable URL:

   http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/extensions/rest/rest-config-api.html

This way, as the versions change, the links won't, thus hopefully improving our 
doc linkage and Google juice, and hopefully eventually dethroning Confluence.

Rationale:  For example, the links on the rightbar of geoserver.org now (still) 
point to 1.7.x.  If they pointed to "stable" then they would never have to be 
updated.  Links like that need to each be updated manually (through the 
Confluence template and other places).  With the stable/latest shift, only the 
entry in our Apache config will need to be updated.

If this is not the way to go, then it's a simple matter of undoing (or 
ignoring).  If this is good, I'll make some small edits to the main page at 
docs.geoserver.org.


Thanks,
