Nicola Crane created ARROW-18393:
------------------------------------
Summary: [Docs][R] Include warning when viewing old docs
(redirecting to stable docs)
Key: ARROW-18393
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18393
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche
Assignee: Alenka Frim
Now we have versioned docs, we also have the old versions of the developers
docs (eg
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/9.0/developers/guide/communication.html). Those
might be outdated (eg regarding communication channels, build instructions,
etc), and typically when contributing / developing with the latest arrow, one
should _always_ check the latest dev version of the contributing docs.
We could add a warning box pointing this out and linking to the dev docs.
For example similarly how some projects warn about viewing old docs in general
and point to the stable docs (eg https://mne.tools/1.1/index.html or
https://scikit-learn.org/1.0/user_guide.html). In this case we could have a
custom box when at a page in /developers to point to the dev docs instead of
stable docs
