ah great, I didn't know. So it seems we will meet 14-16 May if Stephan is
available then, too.

yes, but there are also many new features that are not documented or only a
little like python plugin repository, new digitizing tools, raster layer
properties, ...

To get an idea have a look at the changelog for the new release and compair with
the current document status :(
http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/VisualChangeLog0.10.0

For the manual we could use the "Procedure for new manual releases"
section at the bottom of the DocumentationWritersCorner and add a todo list for
the 0.10.0 version.

 Otto
