First of all, thanks for the encuraging messages I've received.
They warm my heart.

Here we are for the questions.

1) I found that simply modifying this file

 src/introduction/whats-new.xml

is easier than I though

2) I was in doubt if it was better adding a new "What's new with GIMP 2.8"
   leaving the old section renamed into "What was new with GIMP 2.6" but 
   maybe is an overkill...

Please _say_ what you _all_ think about it:

You do prefer to to replace and renew the section or...
You prefer adding a new section?

3) In case of a replacement, I found it useful to let the old section be
accessible by web. Now there is a bug in the site, see by yourself:

http://docs.gimp.org

- there is no direct links to the on line HTML 2.6 section, there is
only the 2.4 and the new WIP 2.8. The 2.6 version _is_ accessible but
only manually editing the web address of your browser replacing the 
2.8 like

http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/

into

http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/

4) is the web site version controlled? Why not?

it's enough for now...
