dovecot - Sep 2010 - "Documentation" link from http://www.dovecot.org/

On the Dovecot home page http://www.dovecot.org/ we have a link 
"Documentation" which links to the Dovecot 1.x wiki ( 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/ ).

There is a question mark in my mind as to whether that is a good idea 
considering as how the current stable version of Dovecot appears to be 
2.0.x.

In the Dovecot 1.x wiki, there is a pink stripe across the top of the 
page which says that the documentation is for Dovecot 1.x. It looks as 
though the intention was to make that prominent so as to guide visitors 
to the right documentation, and I think to a certain extent it may work.

But I am wondering if perhaps the stripe could be too easily missed. 
People might start browsing around in the Dovecot 1.x wiki without it 
even occurring to them that there was a whole another wiki for 2.x.

I have an idea:

Perhaps the "Documentation" link on the home page could be re-worked
to
something like

Documentation v2.x v1.x

where "v2.x" and "v1.x" are links to the two wikis.

This would make it obvious that there was different documentation 
available for v2.x and v1.x, and encourage visitors to choose the 
appropriate set.

Wonder if http://dovecot.org/index2.html looks ok.

Also I've been wondering about what to do with wiki.dovecot.org. It
would be nice if it was the same as wiki2, except there are existing
links that would break. But is that a real problem? Most links would
still stay the same.

Another possibility could be to just make wiki.dovecot.org redirect to
wiki2.dovecot.org and wiki.dovecot.org/blah/ to wiki1.dovecot.org/blah/.
Existing links would work and then wiki2 links would start showing up
more and maybe some day in future it would be easy to do wiki3. But the
problem with this is then that people who have a link to
wiki.dovecot.org could be reading obsolete information..
