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out of date.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?
