Alessandro Molina commented on ARROW-13260:
-------------------------------------------
One note, I think we want to make sure that `/docs` is a permanent redirect to
`/docs/stable|latest`, that way we would make sure that we don't end up with
the documentation indexed twice in search engines. Same way, we probably want
`/docs/5.0.0` to redirect to `/docs/stable` when `5.0.0` is the current stable
version and not viceversa because we probably want to avoid people bookmarking
a specific version and search engines indexing a specific version as the
current stable one.

> Related to ARROW-1299 for hosting the nightly docs, we could also keep the
> built docs for older versions instead of overwriting them at each release.
> Currently, the built docs live in the apache/arrow-site repo (asf-site
> branch) in the "/docs/" subdirectory.
> When releasing, we could add the newly built docs for that release in a
> subdirectory instead. Something like "/docs/5.0/" or "/docs/version/5.0".
> (And we could retroactively add some docs of previous releases, if we want)
> To make this useful for the user, we need a version switcher in the sphinx
> theme layout. There are other projects that use the same sphinx theme that
> have added this (see eg https://mne.tools/stable/index.html), and there is
> some work to upstream this to the base theme (but on the short term we could
> also copy such a custom implementation).
> For the "stable" docs (latest release), we could either 1) keep a duplicated
> version of the latest built docs at "/docs/", or 2) symlink "/docs/" to
> "/docs/5.0/" (and update this for each release; although I am not sure this
> is possible since it's the other is a child directory).
> We could also add a "/docs/stable/" and make this the default url.
