Perhaps I'm jumping the gun a little, but I decided to jump in and
start converting the Hardware HOWTO to DocBook as a first step to
getting it updated. (On a side note, are there any automated tools
for converting Linuxdoc to DocBook?)
I noticed that the version number in the document seemed to have a
scheme that went year.revision, so the last version was v99.3. A
version I found from 1997 was v97.6. Going back to a version from
FRiC in 1995, the version number was v6969. :-)
Does anyone actually pay any attention to this? Would it be safe to
just change it to match the CVS revision number or something? Is
there a "standard" version number scheme?
