I think that the gimp doc web page is a bit misleading.

I think that the pages should be arranged in this way:

docs.gimp.org/xx/v.v.v/index.html ^^ ^^^^^
language version
code code

and the always developing code trunk should be published in this way:

docs.gimp.org/xx/index.html

In this way we could easily compare the different versions and make the online user always use the most updated version.

So the "Work in progress" HTML link anchors should point in the latter form and not (as it is now) to a specific version (2.8).

This is a kind of "RFC" :-) please say what you think about it.

PS: I've swapped language code and version code. The link should be read as:

docs.gimp.org/v.v.v/xx/index.html

Do you really want to have the major, minor and micro version in there?

? We already have! What do you call 2.6.1 or 2.8.1 ???

Work in Progress - GIMP 2.8

Yes. It links to the HTML I automatically build every night from git HEAD.

Hm... what do you mean by same page?

Example:

This is old 2.8.0, _not_ HEAD, really... http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/it/gimp-introduction-whats-new.html

This is just the same: http://docs.gimp.org/it/gimp-introduction-whats-new.html

This is my updated HTML compilation (non daily updated but surely newer than the above...) http://gimp.linux.it/www/manual/gimp-help-2/html/it/gimp-introduction-whats-new.html

see the screenshots for example...

PS: I am really sorry to be always me that make troubles but ... since noone noticed it...
