I installed OOo on four new user's computers in the past week during
the course of a project we are working on. Of those four, two
downloaded the User's Guides for Open Office 1.x from this page:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html
I propose that the 1.x documentation be moved to a separate page.
Furthermore, when OOo 3 arrives, I propose that the 2.x documentation
be kept separate from the 3.x documentation. Many end users do not
know or care what versions of software they have installed.
The main page for the Documentation Project
http://documentation.openoffice.org/ directs users only to the current
versions of the documentation for the current releases of
OpenOffice.org... either on the Wiki, or to the PDFs that can be
downloaded.
My suggestion would be to remove the page Dotan linked, and put the
older manuals into a user manual archive? (also accessible/linked from
the main doc page, but clearly marked as manuals for older versions of OOo)
I would keep that page, but change the information that's on it. Even if
all it then contains is links to the current guides and the archives you
suggested, IMO that's better than having people get a "page not found"
error if they somehow get to an old page.
BTW, you need to decide what to do about this page, too:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors/index.html
Perhaps it could become part of the archive you suggested? With perhaps
a bit more info at the top of the page to re-emphasize that OOo1.1.x is
an older version.
And lastly, some chapters revised for V3 will soon be coming available,
so we'll need a page for them and probably a slight change to the top of
the V2 user guide page,
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/index.html
