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.

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.
