That's a bit misleading -- IIRC, the "version number" of the manual is simply a string in the .itely or .tely file. The manual _has_ been updated since 1.6.0. About what version to document: 1.6.x is frozen (apart from major bug fixes), and that unfortunately applies to the documentation too. So doc patches would need to apply to 1.7.x. However, most things that were hard to learn for 1.6.6 (which is what's in Debian right now) will still be hard to learn for 1.7.x, so you could still work on the documentation for 1.7.x although you just use 1.6.6. Alternately, you could work on other things -- the "tricks" examples, or an entirely seperate document about common problems, or a FAQ, or something ilke that.
