Works for me. What about people really wanting to develop on 2.1.x? Some sort of redirect to the trunk guide could be interesting. Generally speaking there are two kinds of developers: - those that contribute to the project. They know trunk is the only place where a commit must always be, unless you want to lose it at the next series. They don't need a "stable" developer guide - there is the lot of developers customizing GS for their own use, which often stay on the stable series. These people often do not contribute squat to GeoServer, so we could say we don't care.... or we could make it easy for them to get in, hoping that someone sees the light and tries to actually contribute back (those that do not plan to contribute back anything anyways, well, they don't exist to me). Long story short, it boils down to whether the dev guide has strong ties to the branch (I guess it does not atm?) and whether we want to reach out for potential new devs (though I admin the return potential is often low).
