I was looking at the update.sh script earlier today- I propose we have one 
web site but multiple docs/guides directories, all accessible from the 
docs/index.php page.  Each of these would be associated with a branch. 
So, similar to the existing "Historical" section but for "future" branches 
as well.  That would take a small modification to the update.sh script and 
manual modification of the docs/index.php page for each version number.

We may also want to have the feature changes (past and future version 
numbers) available on that page but I think those can be plain text. 
These could be pulled directly from SVN as well.
