Thanks, Tom. I was thinking much the same thing, which I summarise here: * Finish GS 3.4 and Writer 3.4, both of which are well advanced, and once I get a chance to go through John's work and upload some I've been doing, will be nearly done; then start on v3.5 for both of them.
* Skip Calc 3.4, Draw 3.4 and Math 3.4 and go directly to v 3.5, because AFAIK little has been done on those books for v3.4. * Finish Impress 3.4 OR skip and go to v 3.5, whatever Peter prefers (since he's doing the work). I haven't checked yet to see if there are major differences in Impress from 3.4 to 3.5. * Continue with Base Guide for whatever version Dan prefers (since he's doing the work). --Jean On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 00:54, Tom Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi :) > I think that for most of the guides we should skip the 3.4.x branch > completely and just work on 3.5.x.
