Aha, I see. Then maybe we should choose a more meaningful word, because "ISO" and "errata" are probably ambiguous for many people (even for native-english-speaking ones). Some suggestions follow. A clear, hierarchical one: 1. release-notes/fc5/ 2. release-notes/fc5/latest/en/ 3. release-notes/fc5/shipped/en/ Make "latest" the default document and keep the ISO one for historical purposes (archived): 1. release-notes/fc5/ 2. release-notes/fc5/en/ 3. release-notes/fc5/shipped/en/ Alternative words for "latest": current, updated, up2date Alternative words for "shipped": original, iso The typically and conceptually correct structure is the first one. I prefer "shipped" from it's above alternatives. I suggest we should take a close look at the structure of the URLs of the new website, *before* launching it. IMO, permanent, consistent URLs are an important issue for any website seeking high quality and usability. -dim -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos@xxxxxxxxxx, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
