[FM Discuss] booktype manual

[helen varley jamieson]

actually there is nothing at all in the old draft, so what is the point 
of keeping it for reference?

it seems to me very messy to have test versions in the same list as 
everything else - it's confusing when you are looking for the current 
version, it doesn't offer any reference if it's just a test, & it makes 
a great big long list that is tedious to trawl through (is there any way 
to search for a book?)

i do know there has been discussion about deleting or not deleting 
before - personally i like to delete unneeded things, otherwise i start 
to feel buried in digital detritus; but at the very least it should be 
possible to hide, archive or otherwise remove from the main list, books 
that are just tests or false starts ...
