Hi Felix
- marble tips & tricks should be shorter

Good point, the part is divided this way : one for the educational apps and
one for the games. So, I would say : 'Discover' for the former and 'Have
fun' for the latter. (I added them in the Google docs). But once again if
you have a better suggestion...

Yes, it must be different from the box we use to put tips and tricks. We
need to reserve this place for that purpose.
As you have noticed, it was planned that "BLUE texts need to be in boxes" (in
the Google Docs). The problem is that :
- some of these texts are quite long and can't be displayed in the sidebar
box
- there is a plenty of them in the last chapters.
I saw you already encountered the problem and that you put that text at the
end of the part. Here is what I propose : put the smaller texts in the
boxes, and for the longer tips, put them in the "white space". As we need to
differentiate them from the current text, you can for example slightly
decrease the font and add a very soft background color (so that it looks
like a frame in the middle of the text). You can try this way for the "Learn
and play" chapter : exchange the end text and the Marble tips (but if you
have a better idea, test it of course). Let us see the result.
Back to the reference part "problem" : I don't know... perhaps you can just
put them near the end of the page (in the "white space")

Agree, it doesn't need white pages.

Personally, I find the kfourinline interface much more beautiful and
attractive than KAtomic. I don't see any real problem to keep it even if we
don't mention it. We may deal with that later : I think it's no so difficult
to change an image as long as they have both the same size.
Cheers,
Damien
