Hi :)
At the rate you are all going at the moment we could just drop the first column for 3.3.x documentation and just have the 3.4.x and 3.5.x, or just cut the 3.3.x down to just pdf and odf downloads without the dates, pages or any of the other extras.  
Regards from
Tom :)

I had been thinking recently about the same problem. IMO the easiest, and clearest, solution for the user would be to rewrite what's on the website and link to the wiki page. I'll do that later this week if no one objects.

I'm also thinking that the wiki page may soon need some modification, perhaps splitting it into 2 (or, later, more) pages. A third column, for v3.5 docs, may require some users to scroll horizontally, not a desirable situation. Another possibility is to amend the text in the columns slightly to reduce their width, though I don't think that will save enough space.
