Here's my recommendation.

 1.  Do not wait for 4.2.  Use the available energy  and volunteer power to 
advance the Guides for 4.1.

 2. Do not ever tie yourself to a speculative schedule not under your control.  
Not ever.

3. When 4.2 ships or is ready for/in beta, ship a supplement.  There are not 
supposed to be breaking changes.  Probably will though.  Just make a quick 
supplement that can be used in the interim before new 4.2 documents are 
available.  The supplement will also earn feedback for things that people 
notice that are not covered or need to be covered better, and that will lead to 
supplement updates and also improved 4.2 documents.

Regards,

Subject: Thoughts for moving forward

With the Getting Started Guide done, and the Writer and Calc Guides ready for 
review; it is time to consider how we want to move ahead.

I see 2 paths forward.
Each has advantages and disadvantages that should be discussed

1) continue working on the rest of the Guides for 4.1
        Advantage is it gets a full set of up to date guides available
        Disadvantage is it cuts down time for preparing the changes for
        4.2

2) Get the Writer and Calc Guides finished and start working on the 
   guides for 4.2.
        Advantage is it gives the Team more time to prepare the changes
        for 4.2, which could be extensive
        Disadvantage is that the road-map for a 4.2 release is still
        very fluid with no clear end in sight.

Please respond with your thoughts on the best way forward.

Regards
Keith
