HI :)
I like this idea.  I have lost track of where the discussion got to so i'm
only replying to just you at the moment.
Regards from
Tom :)

Aloha everyone,

First of all good discussion. There are valid points on either side. I
however prefer the approach of making pages not release specific as opposed
to "just" renaming them.

Renaming them has the same effect as deleting them where people who have
bookmarked them will get a "404". But generalising (making it holistic?)
might have a similar effect on those that bookmarked them, because it by
doing so the information they bookmarked it for might get lost in the
transition.

What might be a better idea is #redirect the old page and group them under
wiki.ubuntu.com/<ReleaseName> or maybe even have an "Index" page of
/Releases and then group them under <ReleaseName> and depending on the page
make a new holistic one back on the normal location?

Thoughts?

With metta, Chris
