I've been thinking about this some more. (1) Our published books are
current for v3.2 (except for the Impress
Guide, which Michele Zarri just uploaded part of today). (2) We WILL
be publishing "complete new guides" because of OOo
rebranding and other planned changes to correct errors, add missing
info, and improve explanations. (3) The question is: will we make
these new guides cover V3.3 only, or
include both V3.2 and V3.3 info as I described in an earlier note?
(4) If make the new guides for V3.3 only, then instead of replacing the
old guides, we should keep the V3.2 books and have both available. This
would work easily for the ODT/PDF editions, but perhaps not so easily
for the wikified version (which has other problems as well, as discussed
on a separate thread).
Jean, I was going to suggest that the v3.2 books be locked and use for
those that use the 3.2. Update and move forward with the v3.3 books.
Just my 2cents.

Hello Jean,
I agree with Andy: we should freeze the development of the guides for
3.2 and move to 3.3.
Inserting the tip/note/caution table with New in this version/changed
etc... was tried in the past (between 1.4 and 2.0?) and it took quite a
while to get rid of the "legacy".
The use of variables for conditional paragraphs is also a bit too much
to handle in my opinion even for .odt.
Cheers,
Michele
Concur: archive the old, and on with the new.
As for the wiki, I suggest that we need a version-marking system, with a
bug on the page. If we make that show in the edit summaries, then users
can easily access whatever version they want :-) Nothing is lost on the
wiki.
