Hi :)
I really like this page created by Tim of Kracked-Press fame for the North 
American Dvd Project.  
http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/documentation-2d.html

I particularly like the little Odt icons and the back-ground colour-coding.  

On our current wiki-page we use colour-coded backgrounds too but it grew 
organically and i am not sure  the colour choices are still relevant.  
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
Green was originally  just to show that you had completed those chapters when 
the team was racing to complete 3.3.x guides.  The tan colour was taken from 
other wiki-pages that looked quite attractive.  The tan seemed to go well with 
that particular shade of green.  

My thought for the official page
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
would be to have 1 column instead of 3 but it would be different colours for 
different guides.  At the moment the Calc Guide can only show the 3.3.x 

At the moment i think the official page looks good because it's very simple and 
avoids confusing people.  I'm not sure we should offer separate pages there 
because that does make things much more confusing for people.  

My proposal for copying Tim's NA Dvd page does assume that we want to show 
individual chapters but now i am not so sure we do.  
Regards from
Tom :)

        Here is an idea for the NA-DVD documentation page.

        This format sure makes it easy for you to know which version the
        files are for.

        

        http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/documentation-2d.html

        

        The colors do make the different version stand out.

        

        I also added my "modified" PDF files of the New Features and
        Fixes pages, to the documentation page.

        

        I will be tweaking this page before It goes as the actual
        online/DVD documentation page.

        

        When I get more documents for the 3.4/3.5 lines, I will create a
        version 2 for the 3.5.4 DVD.

        

        I am waiting now for Erich to get the 3.5.4 .iso file on the
        main servers and add the 3.5.4 ISO page to the list, since it
        only has:

        

        debian-repo - Recommended

        3.5.3

        3.4.6

        

        listed on that page http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=box

        

        I have no idea why the "debian-repo" is shown, since I sure
        would not want to download all the files listed on that page
        separately and then go from there for the install.
