I'm finding most of the page rather unhelpful. The documentation jumps straight into explaining which buttons to press, without really explaining or even hinting why would I want to do that in the first place.

It would be a good idea to describe what the new features mean in practice, what can you do with them, what's the value for end users? Basically explaining why would I care? As I've vaguely understood, attributes are one of the main new features in 0.9.0 so you'll probably want to describe the feature in a way that'll make users understand it and want it, passionately. Filter and WYSIWYG editor are similar, it's unclear what they mean in practire, how will it look and affect the end user. (Though the editor is easier to guess, but guessing shouldn't be necessary.)

Scripting_via_Groovy and TaskJuggler_Integration are doing a little bit better here.

Hi Tko, with respect to your question on attributes: As an example consider you that you had tasks associated with nodes. You may want to add attributes like: 'assigned to', which would have a name as a value, 'status', lets say with a value 'in progress', 'resource': 'needs 10 Mio.USD', etc..
