Validation Testing

• Question to Jen/Juergen/Bjorn: how can I fix a bug in the Plone docs and apply the change to all previous versions of the Plone docs? Do I need to edit the same page multiple times, one for each release? -- JDM: only certain people can do this; you'll need to coordinate with Juergen or Bjorn.
