Really? In my view the 'current version' documentation is part of the 
website (note: not the sources).

If I go to qgis.org, because I want to know if QGIS is able to do 
something with my Oracle DB, I just want to search: "oracle'.
If the docs are NOT part of the website, you will only find something 
when somebody wrote something about it in the features list or so.
Then you have to go to the documentation website to do this search again?

Another argument is that if we have the currentdocs in our site, it just 
works nice with our Table Of Contents, thereby giving you context. 
Having different sites, makes it hard to know where you are (because you 
actually switch from one site to the other). You fly from one in 
another, having different tocs etc (or somebody must learn me how to 
overcome this :-) )

I agree, that beside this 'site+currentdocs' site, we should (and we 
technically must) create some parallel docs sites for the older and 
master docs. THESE will only be searchable within itself.

Besides this, I hope that some SEO guru will help us to just hand over 
our sites to Google, so if you search 'qgis oracle' you just dive that 
part of our docs.

But, if I'm the only one who sees it like this, we do multiple sites.
(plz decide because I'm actually already doing this, so I will halt now)

Richard
