1. Possibility of receiving a build (prior release) for documentation
testing? This will help immensely to document the instructions, and
usability. What do you think?
2. A monthly plan of activities or tasks that need to be addressed from
the documentation team. Maybe a kanban board to enlist important items
to complete? Volunteers can pitch in to take the task.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/DocumentationTeamInfo/ProducingLibreOfficeUserGuides#How_to_insert_images_into_ODT_files
+ Import images, either
+ Delete old image beforehand and the paste the new image
+ delete the old image and import new image from a file
+ either case, delete old image.
+ When pasting new image over old one produces distortion
+ new image inherit dimensions of old one.
+ Image references:
+ Prefer references as "Category and number"
+ Was only "number" by demand from translators
+ Now machine translation can handle categories
+ I have a script that make the changes in 1 sec (Olivier)
+ can run script upstream (Olivier)
+ Can we avoid "Figure NN on page YY" ?
+ "on page YY" is meaningless in online docs
+ Most reference are hot hyperlinks so click to get to
the image
+ Eventually use "above/below"
+ I prefer to keep as is (Steve)
+ has meaning for paper book readers
+ I can manage downstream in online publication (Olivier)
==> Keep as is
+ same for "Title XYZ on page YY"

+ use "above/below" is necessary
+ check excessive repetition of above and below in paragraph
+ same reasons as above (SF)
==> Keep as is

+ hard to spot
+ often breaks when applies style change
+ I have a script to clean this (Olivier)
