Make sure that the version will be 5.2 (working title). My current plan
is to change the version to be more release date based, so something like
23.08 for August 2023. But for now, I used 5.2 on the bugtracker also
and we should stick with it, at least internally. 6.x can be used when
we move to Qt6.

Yes, that makes sense. Calling it Handbook-5.2 does not interfere with the
translation team which is working from master and stable (5.1).

In case you plan to work on multiple chapters in parallel (multiple persons),
you might want to create a branch off of the Handbook-5.2 branch for each
such chapter. That way, you can merge them seperately into the main Handbook
branch and sync that with the master branch now and then to keep changes
for the translation teams at a controllable minimum.
