Most people wouldn't know precision if it hit the in the face. Precision 
is desirable, but it's really not the #1 priority. Very precise text also 
tends to be long and confusing. So you need to find a compromise.

That doesn't mean that the compromise *has* to be "what's new at OOo", but 
I do think that the original was not so good.

That might be doable, but we must be hesitant to add stuff to the page, 
and quick to remove stuff  :-)

When doing usability, that's a good paradigm to live by.

It's under "For Developers". I don't think that Guidelines really fits 
well on either location. So, until I have a better idea, put it on 
whichever.

It's one of the right-bar boxes.

That could be changed of course, as long as we don't break something major 
(e.g. reduce legibility). How about light red / pink ?
