Sorry, I don't get your point. "Debian-2.0" is currently not stable and so
will be Debian 2.1 when 2.0 has been released. I thought your initial idea
was to make some documentations independent of "stable", "unstable", etc.
This would imply to have the "documentation" directory at the topmost
directory in the archive (/debian/documentation besides
/debian/dists/stable) and there are no "releases" of this directory, just
"snapshots". This way, "bo" and "hamm" could share this directory.
I think this is an intresting ideas for all manuals/magazines/etc. (i.e.
documentation :) that's independent of the Debian distribution, for
example the nice (german) HTML introduction (selfhtml) or Linux Gazette.
I really like the idea!
Thanks,
Chris
