Comment 3 for bug 192202

Thanks, Rich!

I still think that marking the version information for in-development documentation would be very helpful.

Surely we want people to be able to comment on this documentation in ways that make it clear what version they are commenting on, so the writer can easily tell if the issue has already been addressed, etc.

It seems that every other way we have of delivering content to people, we make it clear what the version is, via command line options, dpkg -l, wiki reversion info, etc.

So why not mark version information when we make documentation easily available for comment?

I think this is not a tiny issue - see also e.g. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+bug/122297
Server Guide draft has higher Google rank than released version.

This is also true for the stuff at help.ubuntu.com. At least that says what release it is for, but not anything that would tell a user or documentation volunteer easily whether or not an update had been deployed, or where to find the source code for exactly what they are looking at.

Is it hard to add some version information or a link to get it?
If someone wanted to submit a patch to resolve this, what would need patching and where is the source for it?

Thanks,
