I didn't know about his one :)

yes, this one:

OK. At the end only the Doxygen documentation would be outside of wiki.

yes. I'm not experienced at wikis, so I leave the choice up to you :)

good idea. I think this thing will be finalized when we meet in Grenoble.

a good list :) I'm not sure if fixing 4.1 will be possible without
switching to boost::serialization (which should happen *after* the
release, because it's a big change in the core). We will see though.
