Hi
I've done a lot of long over-due spring-cleaning on the Publications page!
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
Basically just got all sections to look&work roughly the same way as each
other.
Also tidied this page
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation
a bit.
Hopefully the pages are better for it, rather than worse, but please let me
know!

I finally figured out how i had really messed-up some sections and gotten
irregular gaps. So hopefully all the sections look about the same as each
other now! Also, hopefully, it'll be less of a nightmare to figure out
what goes where in the coding!
I added columns for some of the guides being worked on at the moment and a
column for the next version of Calc = hopefully the 4.4! Getting the Base
Handbook and Writer and Math Guides done is already asking a lot of this
team.
At the bottom of the Draw Guide the accuracy was getting tooo visually
confusing. I simplified it to look more like the way it's handled for the
other guides.
There is not much room in some of the columns, particularly for older
versions where a newer one is available. They mostly cover branches that
are still in common usage and consistently having a couple of older
versions of each guide makes the page easier to understand imo.
However, due to the lack of width, i've used
New in 4.2
for chapters that really are new but for ones that are renumbered or
renamed or whatever else i just reduce all that down to
'New' in 4.2
(or for whichever version if it's not for the 4.2). It's less precise and
accurate but makes the page MUCH easier to read imo. Usually the further
explanation fits neatly into the columns for newest versions of the guides
Main Entry Page
I really kinda like this page now
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation
The middle column seems a bit sparse and i'm sure we could usefully add to
it BUT maybe it might be better to reduce it down to 2 columns on the page
and just stick the section about joining the team under the Faq section?
It'd mean re-working all the end-of-line tags, which is a total pain, but i
could do it. What do people here think? Should we try to expand the
central section or tuck it away?
