Confusion over draft docs
Twice now on the user list there have been questions about unreleased
Struts 2.1 versions.
Unfortunately, the first hit for 'Struts 2' is the
http://struts.apache.org/2.x *draft* docs index page, and that's how
they're finding it.
Can we plaster a big "DRAFT" at the top of that page, or otherwise
rearrange things to convince Google that these are not the docs it is
searching for?
Maybe taking those links off the menu and putting them one level down
(linking instead to a page that links to them) would help. Other
ideas?

I was just looking at the page and didn't see any clear way to get to
the right page so maybe a link to the page people really want along with
the big draft thing would be helpful.
I guess since I'm new to the list I should probably say hello. I've
been working on a large project that uses struts for a little over a
year now and finally decided I should at least be watching on the lists
if not participating a little.

I'd rather it wasn't the first Google hit, but I wouldn't know how to go
about changing that.

Robots.txt is the de-facto standard for controlling what gets indexed
(http://www.robotstxt.org/)
Maybe there should be a robots.txt with;
User-agent: *
Disallow: /2.x
in the struts.apache.org webdoc root, and possibly add the noarchive tags to the pages as a double check (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35306)
