      May 2003: WordPress 0.7
  October 2003: WordPress 0.72 (substantially different from 0.7)
  January 2004: WordPress 1.0 (substantially different from 0.72)
      May 2004: WordPress 1.2 (substantially different from 1.0)
February 2005: WordPress 1.5 (substantially different from 1.2)

I know WordPress development is going to be a bit slower from now on.  
And I'm not suggesting that people write *new* stuff for outdated  
WordPress versions. I'm just suggesting that people add boilerplate  
version headers to pages they do write, so that you don't have to  
demolish or abandon the wiki sometime in 2006. And again in 2007. And  
again in 2008.
