Well, BTDT.
Here's a suggestion:
http://www.apache.org/~nd/manual/ru/new_features_2_0.html
The message needs to be translated, of course.
Opinions?

I tend to disagree. Revision numbers are very difficult to interpret
(especially with branches) and provide virtually no information to docs
readers. Yes, they could be slightly useful for developers.

I don't think so. As Joshua said, revision numbers are for developers
only. Users might misinterpret them with release numbers. And if I
understand the discussion right, the revision numbers are stored in the
xml file. This well for developers.

I think it would be nicer if the revision numbers are in it,
like: Original revision: 1.3 Translated revision: 1.1
Many people probably have no clue what revision number means
but it will give you a rough idea of how out of date the
translation is.

Looks great.
I'd probably have a slight preference for something a little more curt,
such as
"This translation may be out of date. Check the English version for
recent changes."
or something along those lines.
