We need to create branches with version names, so that people can get at the tutorails even after we change master.

An example:

g8 typesafehub/akka-first-tutorial-scala.g8 -b 2.0

will pull from the 2.0 branch

To minimize failures we should leave master at 2.0 until we have changed docs in say 2.0.4 and change the docs in 2.1 to pull from the 2.1 branch.

good point

Forgot that we only linked to the g8 stuff from the typesafe site, but we should do the switch in a coordinated manner.

Hmmm, why only branches? We have tags for all of our releases, should work, no?

Good.

So the reason for branches in the g8 templates is that g8 easily lets you pull from a specified branch.

People on 2.0 will do

g8 template -b 2.0

while people on 2.1 will do

g8 template -b 2.1

and people just wanting the latest stable will do

g8 template

That would be nice.

What's the status here?
