Have to differ a bit here.  It is VERY NICE to have docs which match the 
installed system…  The latest and greatest is fine, but is often not what is 
installed.  If I do an SVN update, then both are updated together.

Agree that it is a nightmare to keep things up to date in general...

We can do this, but then fixing errors in the docs becomes a pain.  I
like having them on the web so they can be consulted at any time, and
we can fix errors in docs that might occur.

Why don't we bundle a frozen version of the release docs with the
release itself in the SVN? So adopters can always can consult their
checked out code for details on their release?

Michelle,

Also, seeing as we're getting into details, we should probably take
this over to

Hi Michelle,

The insanity that the page title has to be unique is an
unfortunate design decision on their part.  Is there a better
tool for our job of release notes?
OK, I guess I didn't realize the need to have separate 1.2 install
and configure docs. With that in mind, and looking at the problem
of cloning trees, here's an entirely different alternative I've
seen other projects using Confluence do it this way, but not sure
if it's really a good or bad approach. The idea is that each set
of release docs is it's own wiki space. Then the page titles and
links don't need to change. You can clone an entire space very
easily, then just update it. So install and configure trunk would
be it's own space that you just clone with each release.
This sounds good to me, but will it get unwieldy to handle dozens
of wiki spaces?

I like that you could then do something like MH1.2 as the space
name. I imagine googling to find the current release might be a
bit of a pain, as google might send you to 1.1, or 1.2, or
1.3...so we would have to think about labelling spaces clearly.
But it sounds like this would make the release process easier.

How would we deal with navigation in the buttons on the left?
