I read about those, they are supposed to be really good!

The root problem is that we are not organized and don't seem to be able to get and stay organized.

For example, a writer could refer to the "current version" throughout a document and maybe a note at the top would say "the current recommended version is 4.5 (July 2014)" and so on. Updating the document often would just be changing the 4.5 to 4.6, the date, July 2014 to March 2015, etc. Anything to help keep the documentation easy to update and provide clues as to what year the documentation was written.
That seems like a good suggestion.

At least.
