Hi :) I think 1 set of guides each year is enough but according to the "Release Plan" there is scheduled to be 2 branches per year! So, i think it might be good for the team to make a decision to set a policy to skip either all the odd ones or all the evens.
There are other things the documentation team would be better doing. That is, better than the people currently doing them (or not doing them)! Plus there is a wish-list of things doc-team members have said they would like to see.

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.
