I agree. I don't know anything about how the web site is generated, though, so I don't know how easy or hard this is. We just switched to a new documentation generation system. Maybe the scheme you suggest, with docs matching versions (at least the latest release and svn; possibly even keeping access to older versions as new versions are released, the way Python.org does it) can be implemented with the next release. I wonder if any users or developers might be interested in becoming developers specializing in the website and documentation, to take some of the load off of John and Mike...
