Subject: [Users] Request for Wiki - dates
Hi,
As most are aware, there's a lot of information on the Ovirt Wiki that's
out of date. In spite of our best efforts, that will probably always be
true - it's the nature of Wikis.
When I look for information on our Wiki, I never know where the most
current information is.
I think it would be really helpful if someplace on each Wiki page was a
useful date to let us know the currency of the info. Probably the most
useful date is last-modified, although creation date might also be
useful. Maybe we could even map/display the date to the version number
of whatever the current stable release was at the time for context
(sometimes the content of a page calls out a particular version it's
addressing, but a lot of the time it does not).
Just as an example, I want to find out about migrating my existing
configuration to self-hosted, using 3.4 RC2. A google search shows the
following links (in order shown):
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine
http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine
http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto
...
I'm sure the Features page is ancient at this point. It's hard to tell
about the 2nd page.
Of course the date a page was last modified doesn't directly indicate
how correct/current the information is, but there's a correlation.
Knowing the date would be useful in making a judgment. It might even
help the task of identifying and cleaning up obsolete pages.
Easy to do?

Hi Bob,
I'm not against it and I'm aware of the fact that pages tend to become out of
date.
Since every page has a history as you can see in the attached, adding another
date
seems needles.
What do you think?
Hi Doron,
I was thinking of something very simple - a clear text date on ever page
on the Wiki.
I can't see anything that looks like your attached picture of menus on
this page, for example:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine
Do you have to log in to see that menu? If so, that's not very helpful
to those without accounts...
-Bob
