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...
