Hi Diethard,

my personal opinion would be that we skip a 2.4 documentation version,
and based on QGIS 2.5/2.6 put all our energy in new screendumps/text on
a 2.6(!) documentation version.

Besides, because we appear not to have enough hands currently to keep up
the docs with every release of QGIS, we should maybe keep working with a
numbered schema, but in practice/website should only point to stable and
testing version of the doc.
Now some user are looking for 2.4 version of docs (which we just do not
have yet)....

Not sure if this would hurt people (for example educational users?).

See you in Essen \o/
