I too think the doc pages could stand some additional improvement. I'm

That’s a good idea. We could store that it has been dismissed in a cookie and then have itreappear when a new announcement comes out. That should not be too difficult to create a patchfor.As for the list of unsupported versions, I'm not sure that its
omnipresence has a lot of value. Would it work to have a list of
supported versions plus devel (one line -- we could say "Current (11),
10 / 9.6 / 9.5 / 9.4 / 9.3 / 12dev" since it should be pretty obvious
that "12dev" is development), and have a link "other versions" that
shows the rest of the list?
Yeah, and perhaps move the list of unsupported versions to the bottom of the page?On mobile, I think it would work to have the version selector integrated
in the navbar (which has plenty of space), as another dropdown.
Not a bad idea - it may take some work given the nav bar is a global component. Will think on it.Jonathan
Meanwhile, could you apply the patch I submitted? It improves usability
and removes no content. It just unsticks the navigation bar (and fixes
the shoutbox padding), so that you can see more of the docs at once.
Thanks!
