I'm not sure how to do that on OpenOffice. :-) I'm experimenting with something that has lines that connect (for example) the bottom of the HEAD on one column to the top of the HEAD on the next column. I believe this passes the "non-confusing" test, but I'm not so sure about "non-ugly". > Some people might scratch their head about why many releases are in a > long line of boxes (eg, 4.0 - 4.2), while others are in a short > offshoot. The "key" box could be made taller to explain it. ("Recent > releases are on short 'release' branches which are limited mostly to > security patches." Something like that.) That's a good idea, thanks. When I get back to this thing I'll add that.
