[mapserver-users] website upgrade for older documentation

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Zach, et al,

It might be possible to do something like you are suggesting going 
forward, as the documentation is been migrated into svn and should get 
tagged with each release we do. Since this was not done in the past it 
is unlikely that we can go backward in time with this type a scenario.

I think it will be up to the doc and web team to look into doing 
something like this, but I believe the 1st step of having the docs in 
svn is the critical pieces to be able to do anything like this.

I think you should write a ticket in the bug tracking system and then 
post the tick number so interested parties can sign up to be CC on it.

Thanks,
   -Steve
