Documentation versioning https://github.com/nexusformat/definitions/issues/1228
PJ:
- it would be nice to select the release/version in the documentation
- number of github commit steps after the release could be added
- link to issue https://github.com/nexusformat/definitions/issues/1021
AB: a cleaner ID would be better than github commit

TC: 7 digit commit hash could be enough

RO: everything commited is official

BW: we should only consider only tagged releases being official

PJ: releases normally after a codecamp and NIAC meeting, but can be done on request

AB: We could do one now!

The consensus of the discussion is documented in the issues.
Contributed definitions
AB: Would we need cleaning here? Proactivly, NIAC could reach out to authors of old definitions if the definitions should be promoted to be offical.

CZ: A quick update on the file NXsnsevent.nxdl.xml: it is still being used by ISIS, HFIR, and SNS. Please DO NOT remove/deprecate it. Pete, thanks for suggesting the ratification of this def file. It would be great if we can move it to the application folder.

AB: issues should recored how and why and by whom contributed definitions are committed. See issue https://github.com/nexusformat/definitions/issues/1229.
