I think the list of issues assigned for the docs milestone can
be a good approximation. I probably can look at them, and create
a wiki page describing the critical issues with the documentation
I know, and ask for feedback of users. Does that sound good?

It's independent, mostly. While the extender's manual will have to
be adjust for Python, most user-level docs and context will remain
the same.
