Tom, The download page for the *program* http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ uses the term "version" and nowhere can I see it use the term "stable", though it did have that term in the past. The Features pages also use the term "version". Example: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/3-4-new-features-and-fixes/
Ordinary users will see what is on the program download page (assuming they download the program instead of getting it pre-installed or some other way) or on the features pages. Using the same terminology on the *documentation* download page would seem to me to best meet their needs. --Jean On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 23:37, Tom Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
