Or perhaps externals, I think that would be a folder. We could have an apache, policy, or user directory - content/user/. With files like: registration.mdtext contributing.mdtext policy.mdtext The directory could be external in say French - content/fr/user/. The files registration.mdtext etc in that directory become like "branches", can be translated and it would be possible to flag these changes for each NL team. I'll look for someone with svn superpowers like Joe to tell us if this is a good idea or crazy.
