One reason that comes to mind: Segregating the documentation into two different branches would mean that contributions that apply to both Qubes versions would only end up in one branch, unless someone remembers to manually submit the same thing to the other branch and actually makes the effort to do so. Most of the time, this won't happen. When it does, it means a second pull request that has to be reviewed. Over time, the different branches will diverge in non-version-specific content. Good general content that was submitted only to the 3.2 branch will effectively disappear once 3.2 is deprecated. (Even if it's still on the website, no one will look at it, since it'll explicitly be in the subdirectory of a deprecated version. And there will be a motivation to remove it from the website so that search results aren't populated with out-of-date information.) > It doesn't sound like that's the route the Qubes team wants to > take right now, Not necessarily. We want to take whichever route is best. We just want to be sure it would be a big enough improvement to be worth the associated costs. As I wrote above: "If there turn out to be significant, compelling reasons to make completely separate sets of docs (one for 3.2 and one for 4.x), of course I'd be happy to do that. We should weigh the costs and benefits, and choose whichever system is best. From a maintainability perspective, it seems simpler and easier just to have a single set of docs, and that's what Qubes has always had, so that's why it's the default system right now. That's not set in stone, but I think an alternative system should deliver significant benefits for it be worthwhile for us to move from the default system. So far, it seems like the objections to sticking with the default system and simply having separate sections within the existing docs rest on misunderstandings about how that system would work, but I'd be happy to be convinced otherwise. :)" > but at least splitting the content on the same page would make it > easier to migrate to that approach if they change their minds! > - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEZQ7rCYX0j3henGH1203TvDlQMDAFAlpZcEkACgkQ203TvDlQ MDCcZBAAnmAlCRfKluzVBd36jqGoXGsk9efWDJSSSIS2OUsebk6Tv+cwvDcOfzA6 HhevMmP6iMB637NkHfDe/aMLbmLfq+401g1Ob5JLzvZ008K3Cb88da0VTUmtQ/k1 DKAusV0j/eNGNg9UM9hpRu2XLHdt7fAovIllARKc2hoDLeNA5uxzb0y2ByArpNib UpaNRZPTPAOCMl2RqjWQIBVhez0Ve8chTqrEx6RHF1NoIBD2FZxJw331z7YLwNUL iLBtpD928mywhk3VeOZtipP4W6W5l3cgxprYGzU/unxKltOb4D1T5iD+dzkBftFr euGg07OY5w/lqr9FBONqtgtKLWNrOsT1Ko60eCOuXLA2oBGcV4wIB2Zb22J0JPgW rCqTn2vhF4wLLW/h0hhMdmj9abxQoShrLoLiUfJa8i+R8yyxWImiY6VbCP7gjAF+ kMHmA88i3yroQawJBwmfnfgGtEpBcFo3+L2uYSUnIQGt3BIW7HYNV1EHKvlA/PIN xUZGAQkPeaCni3GhsVcGBg3YQcYyrcEn5KyRXQYwvHDUBfA5LDmXH26HCDA6el0F MOoZk408Mg0QUZD/Tk72K50c5/XzNC9TF7f9JLWtZ+i2ClJu62OORMpYx4ncaq+e sg6rrSrTZkeZejXh0XbraHNs8WiZVt50kV0JGAFhzSHExnp3Xio= =WcO8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
