Ok. So it needs to bump DB_VERSION ? That's not fully exact.

Yes, I have that in mind too. And then, no jokes with datamodel !

Yes

A basic user doc should be done with some samples. And a (also basic) web 
site, because pulling a git repo is not friendly ;-).

Do you mean API doc generated with doc.sh script ?

Yes.

Yes (quite easy to do).

This was done in september or october.

Done last week, you can pull it up from my repo. There's a cosmetic bug when 
only one item can be completed, you have to press tab twice to clear display. 
I don't know how to fix it. I suspect a readline/python issue.

Here's my todo list (I removed items that you already mention above) : 
- user doc (install, usage and tips like bash alias, Plasma integration...)
- basic web site
- bug if task name have a dash => this must be done properly before 1.0
- link with git to mark_done a task when a special keyword is used in git. 
This is a geek feature, it could be delayed after 1.0
- i18n for yokadi. This may have lots of impact and needs tests. It could be 
delayed after 1.0

For all non dev stuff (user doc, screenshot, web site etc) we could try to 
find enthousiast yokadi users. Do you know any ?

Quite simple but too SQLish. I am poisonned by django ;-)
Anyway,  I like sqlobjet a little bit more since your mail. Thanks !
