AFAICS the premature GenericSetup 1.3 release has the biggest issues:
I'm behind the loop on GenericSetup having only encountered it when
writing a content type for a single site. I would appreciate an
explanation of the difference between declarative and imperative as
linguistically they are almost identical. I have never done imports &
exports so would appreciate knowing where to go to read up on them so
that I can contribute to the debate or at least understand it fully.

I still consider the VERSION.txt support a mis-feature.
VERSION.txt is really nasty anyway but if it is still around you are
right: the profile version is not necessarily the same as the product
version and so nothing should assume this.
five.localsitemanager still has no UI for inspecting and editing
component registrations. I added the 'components_xmlconfig.html'
view to GenericSetup as an alternative way to do this, but a normal
UI would still be useful.
CMF seems to be in good shape, but the migration code and
documentation could need some cleanup:
- The 2.1 migration should use the new 'upgradeStep' feature, the
on-the-fly migration code in PortalObjectBase.getSiteManager should
be replaced by an 'upgradeStep'
- It might be useful to review the docstrings in CMFCore.utils and
interfaces._tools. There are misleading comments like "BBB: for
use in 'getToolByName'; in the future, prefer 'zapi.getUtility
(IActionsTool)'." Seems not all docs reflect the latest tools-as-
utilities changes.
Yes, please! I recently really struggled writing a browser view
because of the lack of doc strings. I can only assume that BBB has
something to do with something "bad".
I think the most important issues can be resolved before the
weekend *if* some people are willing to help.
Having recently given a presentation (in German) on CMF 2.1 I hope at
least to be contributing to the documentation. However, as noted
above there are significant areas with which I have little or no
experience.
