I just want to echo what Steve said earlier — if there is a need for a  
separate 3.2 manual, then 3.2 is not a successful release. The whole idea  
about the 3.x line is that interface stability is paramount, if you sit  
down in front of Plone 3.0 or 3.2 or 3.7, it shouldn't matter.

Yes, this means that we can't improve the UI in a significant way in the  
3.x series, but even I can see that this is for the better, and swallow my  
UI pride and put that energy towards Plone 4 instead. :)

In general, we should strive to talk about "Plone 3" wherever possible,  
not "Plone 3.2" or "Plone 3.1". I have made this same mistake several  
times in documentation and other pages, but I try to correct it whenever I  
stumble over it in the existing docs.

Hopefully not.
