Months ago I listed some areas in which I think there should be priorities
[0]. Quoting myself and updating
* 3D formats and features: a bit has been written about but still needs
more literature
* the user profiles behavior: no more urgency
* the processing system and particularly "graphical modeler": The
algorithms, and particularly native ones, are well covered, But the
Processing options and more important the modelers are less behind imho >
(nothing has changed)
* the QGIS Server: can't really tell how the doc is in this area but there
are a lot of pending issues in the repo (some work has been done meanwhile)
* the print layout reporting: IMO the print layout is rather well covered;
it's the layout reports that is not yet documented,
* attribute table and custom forms/widgets
* unfortunately as usual, the PyQGIS doc ... (there have been discussions
on ways of improvement recently)
* ... and the data source manager dialog (particularly some of the tabs at
the bottom of the dialog)
* and of course, any other area you think you know better...

But given the recent and long discussions held in the different lists, I
think documenting the vertex tool should be a top priority.

Just for information the documentation being written is for 3.4 hence all
the issues[1] tagged with a milestone <= 3.4 or without milestone.
