React: Documentation versions

[shripadk]

It would be great to have documentation for various versions of React similar to http://nodejs.org/docs/

Currently the docs points to the latest version and until our apps are upgraded it'll be nice to be able to refer to documentation for earlier versions.

Also I'm interested in helping move towards React powered docs and remove Jekyll dependency without disturbing the existing structure. Is the team willing to consider contributions in this area?

I totally agree. I was actually planning on at least initially linking off to the documentation in the stable branches as a stop-gap solution. Since it's not just API documentation but a lot of explanations and inter-page links and sometimes just wording updates between releases, it's a little tricker than the node docs.

And yes, we're open to change. Let's discuss before you drop a complete change on us thought :)

For reference, this is what we do for Underscore. We serve the git tag page from rawgithub when the user requests an older version.

It'd be nice to have a more permanent and solid solution though.

That wouldn't work for us but it's a great idea. Maybe we can do something in that vein though.

We are closer to being able to do this now.

Thank you for filing this issue! 😄

The documentation and source code for reactjs.org now lives in a different repository: reactjs/reactjs.org. (For more info on why we made this move, see issue #11075.)

I've moved your issue to the new repo: reactjs/reactjs.org#85

Let's continue the discussion there! Sorry for the inconvenience.
