Lynn, one thing that should be looked at in the documentation is 
versioning. What I refer to is that not all information applies to 
all versions of Valentina. This is sort of an extension of the 
discussion we had about release branching.

When we had PDF-based documentation, we could have kept PDF file 
specific to each release. However, this is not possible with 
online-only documentation. This will become more and more of a 
problem as Valentina matures and more different versions are being 
used in parallel.

Documentation should at very least indicate in which version a given 
feature or function was introduced, changed, or deprecated. MySQL has 
a separate branch in their docs wiki for each major release, but that 
may be an overkill for Valentina.
