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
