    Will be a great idea.

    You can do that now with our current URL layout, using Google "site:"
    directive:

    http://www.google.com/search?q=+external+transactions+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fcayenne.apache.org%2Fdoc%2F

    Still does not address the issue of page ranking for the same logical
    content spread across 3 versioned pages. So if you know where to look
    for things, there are ways of finding them, but in general the site is
    not search engine friendly.

    (BTW, I am no SEO expert, but I just had a chance to communicate with
    people who are)
