Hi Josh,
I think a good rule of thumb is to only backport documentation as far
back as we support releases. Currently, the community only supports the
2.5 and 2.6 releases, so I would only backport to 2.5 if the feature was
available at that time. The release notes is probably the best place to
look to see if it was something newly added to Evergreen.
I know that zip.txt features goes way back, so it should be no problem
backporting to 2.5. When you send out a message saying that the
documentation is available, maybe you can mention how far it should be
backported. It looks like you can find that blog post in the Internet
archive:

Thanks for all of your work filling in some of our doc gaps!

Hello, does anyone know where some current documentation on the zips.txt - zip
code pre-populate feature is at? I found a thread on the devel list from 2011
[1] that mentions this site,
http://dmagick.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/notes-on-installing-zipcode-information/
But I think that domain expired and was picked up by someone else, there is no
trace of that article on the site anymore.
I think I can figure most of it out by looking at the Zips.pm and from some
comments I can find in IRC archives.
If I wanted to document this feature for the official documentation - would it go in the
"System Configuration and Customization" section?
What would the official name of this feature be? "Zip Code Pre-Populate" "Zip Code
Auto-Populate" "Patron Address pre-populate based on Zip Code"
And a general question - should each feature section state when the feature was
introduced, to make it easier to backport the documentation for previous
versions. Are new documentation additions added to the older documentation
versions?
Thanks
Josh
