See the releaseinfo element here:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-devel-docs/trunk/gdp-style-guide/C/gdp-style-guide.xml?revision=582&view=markup

The proposal on gnome-doc-list outlines how the DocBook should look.  There's no need to query Pulse.  Everything you need to know is in the DocBook.  Like I said, I can do the work on this.
Comment 2 Frederic Peters 2008-10-15 16:22:44 UTC 
Ok, easy enough; I'll do it now.
Comment 3 Frederic Peters 2008-10-15 16:43:36 UTC 
It will take some time to get them all rebuilt.

        * data/skin/lgo.css, data/xslt/db2html.xsl: display document status
        on nightly builds, if available.

Btw, would document status also be useful on non-nightly documents?
Comment 4 Shaun McCance 2008-10-15 16:58:38 UTC 
Hum, I don't know.  I mean, people might (will) continue editing stable series documents, because we're not going to get them all finalized before the point-oh release.  But I'm not sure we want to advertise that sort of stuff in documents that are primarily intended for readers, not editors.  Anyway, if the information isn't current (i.e. lags for releases), it's probably not that useful.  People can always look at Pulse.
