-    <para>Note that the <emphasis role="italic">Lustre* Operations Manual 2.x</emphasis>  is
-        intended to be relevant for all 2.x releases of the Lustre software. Most of the manual
-        content is relevant to all of the releases. However, any features and content that are added
-        for new versions of the Lustre software are clearly marked with the version in which this
-        functionality is added. Similarly, features that are no longer available  are marked with
-        the version in which they were deprecated or removed. <revhistory>
+	<para>The Lustre* File System Release 2.x Operations Manual is a community
+maintained work. Versions of the manual are continually built as suggestions for
+changes and improvements arrive. Suggestions for improvements can be submitted
+through the ticketing system maintained at <link
+xl:href="http://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LUDOC">https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LUDOC</link>.

+	<para>This manual currently covers all the 2.x Lustre software releases.
+Features that are specific to individual releases are identified within the
+table of contents using a short hand notation (i.e. 'L24' is a Lustre software
+release 2.4 specific feature), and within the text using a distinct box.  For
+example:</para>
+
+	<para condition='l24'>Lustre software release version 2.4 includes support
+for multiple metadata servers.</para>
+
+    <note xml:id="whichversion"><title>which version?</title>

+    <secondary>which version of Lustre am I running?</secondary></indexterm>
+
+    <para>The current version of Lustre
+    that is in use on the client can be found using the command
