I noticed that the 2.2.0 release's website documentation does not contain the 
News item announcing its release, unlike the versioned documentation for all 
other versions (except 2.3.0, which doesn't have any News items at all):

   <http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_2_0/>

I think the 2.2.0 version should be modified to include the 2.2.0 release 
announcement - one of the things the announcement links to is CHANGES.txt.

Also, on the 2.3.0 version, the Overview page seems really sparse.  IMHO, it 
should be modified to include a link to a versioned Changes.html (and 
potentially a versioned CHANGES.txt).  Going forward, new versions' overview 
pages should also have these links.

Is it intentional, going forward, that the versioned documentations' Overview 
pages not include recent News items?  If so, I find this troubling, because 
there doesn't appear to be an archive of news anywhere, and I think there 
should be.

Maintaining what appears to be a tradition -- if you look at the older 
versions' documentation's front pages -- of archiving news by release may be a 
cheap way to archive news.
