Re: [soa-rm] capabilities of wiki

[Danny Thornton <danny_thornton2@yahoo.com>]

To view previous versions of a RA wiki page, click the
"Get Info" hyperlink at the bottom of the wiki page. 
A rollback is essentially a cut and paste from a
previous version of a wiki page to the currently
edited version.

It doesn't look like the RA wiki supports branching. 
If you would like to branch instead of overwrite, you
could put a link at the bottom of the wiki page to a
new wiki branch page and call it something like "The
Architecture/Governance - Ken's Branch."  When the
branch page is no longer needed, the link to the
branch page can be deleted.
