Mark, I think you'll find in the 2nd paragraph of my original email that we are keeping version-tagged docs.

>A demo is available here:

>The current state of the documentation is here:

http://www.geomoose.org/trunk/
>
>A relevant change log is here:
>-
http://www.geomoose.org/trunk/releases/2.6.html
>
>Currently, the docs contain a substantial amount of legacy instructions from older versions of GeoMoose. We have moved to a versioned documentation system and the old docs will be preserved here:
>-
http://www.geomoose.org/2.4/
>
>"geomoose.org/" really just points to the latest stable documentation.

>We will be dropping an RC1 pending a few tickets. Most of the docs will continue to apply but we are also looking for volunteers who are unafraid of writing docs and looking at some code.
