Community help wikis per release

I reworked the macro to pull the version numbers from a wiki page named
"UbuntuVersions", the name can be changed to whatever though, in the page I
listed each version separated by commas.  I used the code you pointed out to
grab the version strings then match them with the strings passed through the
macro arguments.  This should minimize the maintenance burden, because the
UbuntuVersions page can be easily updated for each release.

It works great for me, but again I'm using the moinmoin shipped with Gutsy.
One thing with coding it this way is I'm not sure how to code it so it will
match multiple misspellings of a release?  Also, after attending today's
Open Week meeting on Launchpad I imported the code into a bzr branch:

http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~asommer70/+junk/misc/files

Should have done that earlier... heh.  Feedback is very welcome.
