I felt linking to the obsolete CentOS docs was better than linking to upstream docs, since that part hasn't really changed. I suppose if we used http://centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/ as the base, it would be re-linked when a document was updated and could (theoretically) be changed by the translators (assuming alternate language manuals existed). > OT: So what's happening with updating docs? > > Phil I had an urge to ask the same about updating CentOS docs, but that is commonly interpreted as volunteering to lead the task. I'd volunteer to help, though. Is someone currently in charge of that? http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ suggests that the CentOS project redistributes without modification. Since this isn't code, I assume (subject to correction) that this process is different than the process at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General/RebuildReleaseProcess but possibly similar in some respects for the equivalent rpms.
