Hiya,

I've recently noticed that every time I visit the djangoproject.com
website, I have to select which version of the django docs to view. I am
aware that the URLs reflect which version of the documentation to view,
but I invariably Google the question to see if there is an answer on
StackOverflow or elsewhere, before clicking on the relevant link displayed
in my Google search results and ending up back on the django docs website.

I'd like to humbly request an enhancement to the site where after I've
chosen a version of the django docs to view, the site remembers which
version I'm viewing (perhaps be setting a cookie), and upon subsequent
visits, the site does not ask me which version of the django docs to view.

Cordially,

John O'Brien

Comment:

Thank-you for the suggestion, but I think it may be confusing and more
trouble than it's worth. There's also the issue that the documentation
contains different pages between versions and thus cannot be mapped
cleanly from one version to another.

Comment (by nealsid):

Thanks for the comments. Perhaps if I'm able to prototype this, we can
iterate and propose solutions to the concerns you mention. Is it possible
to set up an installation of the same setup that runs
docs.djangoproject.com?
