If you are interested in maintaining both manuals - the 4.3 one and the 
development tree one - in parallel, one way would be for me to send an 
e-mail to this list before minor version releases saying which change 
sets from the trunk manual were back-ported to 4.3.  Then you could copy 
over the relevant sections of text from the trunk manual.  Does that 
seem reasonable?  As I said, I think that considering the 4.3 manual 
translation as finished and just continuing work on trunk would also 
make sense if maintaining two versions is a pain.

Regards,

Michael
