(failed to CC the list, sorry for the duplicates)

I have copied the new file over.  CSS, for the most part, uses RCS, so  
I have created an RCS directory, checked in the original page, and  
then checked in my new revision.  If there is a strong desire for it  
to live in svn, then so be it.  I guess the question is whether the  
versioning system will be designed to actually preserve useful  
versioning history, or merely to avoid two people accidentally  
clobbering the doc at the same time.

There's also a larger question of where documentation will live in the  
long term.  If the Athena 10 documentation will be moving to Hermes,  
that has its own versioning system, as it's basically just  
Confluence.   If it will be living in the ist locker, that will  
eventually be moving to Drupal, which presumably also has its own  
versioning system.
