Hi, About documentation tasks, the CloudStack Techpubs is very busy with the CloudPlatform release through November until the release is shipped out.
The Techpubs also is attending various conferences in early December. Considering that, we will be able to start contributing only by second week of December. If you can extend the development cycle to Jan, it would be helpful for Techpubs to properly plan and execute.

Also a Jira ticket so QA can close it as verified. I think we need criteria as to when is a feature "ready"?
