Hi :) I guess a shorter answer would be that my use of the terms "branch" and "version" are more consistent with other OpenSource projects which helps all of us to be easier to understand.
Each branch suits different circumstances. Some people value stability more than tons of new features. I like the SliTaz terms. They have "stable branch" and "cooking branch" because it's not really about being unstable or "still in development and not really ready". Sadly, sliTaz is a very tiny and obscure project so not many people know of it nor the terms they use. It might solve the angst of the devs tho?

But isn't v3.4.x "stable" as well? If so, shouldn't we remove "(stable)" from the 3.3.x column as being a bit misleading? Or amend it in some way? Also, the word "branch" seems odd to me. I know what you mean, but I'm wondering if the term might be confusing, and indeed if it's needed at all. The headings could be, for example, "Version 3.3.x" and "Version 3.4.x" or some such. Yes, I know, it's a wiki, so I could just change it, but I thought I'd ask first in case there was some reason that I'm missing for doing it the way it is now. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
