Description

Currently the links on http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Documentation point to the master branch's latest build of the documentation (and to some older versions of the manual).

Two problems:

• When jenkins is down, people who want to read about Lustre get a broken link when they try to read the manual from the wiki
• It's hard for people to find the version of the manual that goes with the release they're using, once master has moved past that release.

Suggestions:

• The top link that newcomers naturally click on the documentation page should point to the latest release version, not master.
• The artifacts used for release versions of the manual should be put somewhere reliable like downloads.whamcloud.com (unless jenkins has got a more reliable internet connection by the time this ticket is actioned).
• As part of the Lustre release process, a manual snapshot should be taken and used to update the wiki page.
