Hi Deepti,

The page Adam is referring to is not part of the wiki.  It's one of the 
web pages that are hosted on libvirt.org.  The modification mechanism 
for these pages is different from the wiki that's hosted on libvirt.org.

Agreed.  Also, we haven't updated the release information.  The 
information there is quite out of date.
