LibreOffice or OpenOffice. No matter.

This KiCad main icon is ugly. :( This form is good for documents, but
not for the whole application. Anyway, compare it yourself with the rest
of icons of the KiCad Suite members. Clearly does not fit. BTW: Why
CvPCB icon has a blue base?
The text is ok, but what the Cannonical says...

IMHO the new KiCad documentation should be a big-bang for the future
readers. In general.
Your layout is too "polite". Especially with these smoothing green
headers. The Arial font or his equivalent - it already was. 
Lack of emphasis for important key words, no monotype in file paths or
names - the fundamental elements of IT manuals are missing.
Sorry. But I do not like it.
