Re: Need Clarification

So we put a lot of effort into documentation that may or may not be 
available as anything but articles on xaraya.com?

I had thought we went about this from the repository side in the same 
manner as the RFC's.

I just don't understand why the source of these docs are simply articles 
that are staged in the waiting content areas as submitted articles for 
editing.  There is no real way of doing any kind of version control, etc.

Please enlighten me.
