Document versioning

[Shawn <shawn -at- cohodata -dot- com>]

I have been tasked with developing a document version scheme.

The version formatting standard will have to take into account features
such as:
- Minor and major revisions (and rules)
- Branching (i.e. slight deviation such as older product with continued
document updates)
- Localization (i.e. same document in different language)
- Document families (i.e. User guides, Quick Starts, Upgrade guides, etc.)
- GA, beta, internal and/or external facing documentation

I am seeking any advice.

After building this standards document, I am happy to share the content
with the group.


Thank you,
