Sorry for not being familiar with the overall system, but where would  
one put a suggestion regarding the overall date/time/version stamping  
of every document in the system?

I'd be happy to propose a standard format but I'm not sure where to  
put it so it's universally applied (across all products).

I know Jessica McKellar <jessica.mckellar at gmail.com> started working  
on the "ContributingToTwistedLabs" wiki how-to-edit-documentation docs.

Can we get it in there, or where would be the best place to get this  
started?

I've CC's Jessica to see how she thinks this might be integrated as  
well.

Thanks,
