Sorry, I forgot to cc: the mailing list.

I would change that to:
[[Textbook Release 0.8]]         --_rename_-->   [[P OSS E book 0.8]]
                    which is the abbreviated form of [[Practical Open
Source Software Exploration book 0.8]]
[[Textbook Roadmap]]             --_rename_-->  [[P OSS E roadmap 0.8.1]]
which automatically generates
[[Textbook Release 0.8]]         --_redir_-->       [[P OSS E book 0.8]]
[[Textbook Roadmap]]             --_redir_-->       [[P OSS E roadmap 0.8.1]]
then create
[[P OSS E book stable]]          --_redir_-->      [[P OSS E book 0.8]]
[[P OSS E book develop]]        --_redir_-->      [[P OSS E book 0.8.1]]
[[P OSS E roadmap develop]]   --_redir_-->      [[P OSS E roadmap 0.8.1]]

Then, when 0.8.1 becomes the stable version:
change/create
[[P OSS E book stable]]          --_redir_-->      [[P OSS E book 0.8.1]]
[[P OSS E book develop]]        --_redir_-->      [[P OSS E book 0.9]]
[[P OSS E roadmap stable]]     --_redir_-->      [[P OSS E roadmap 0.8.1]]
[[P OSS E roadmap develop]]   --_redir_-->      [[P OSS E roadmap 0.9]]


Lurkers please note well, I really would like to hear whether this is
acceptable to all of you.  Quaid and I are trying to set the
infrastructure for the future.  Now is the time to speak up if you
have a better idea.
