I've been writing the Fedora Weekly News Virtualization Beat for several weeks now, and I've recently volunteered to work on the portion of Fedora 10 release notes which cover virtualization features.

I've been using my wiki page as a scratch space for ideas before placing drafts on the virtualization docs beat page. This page eventually makes it into the release notes.

During this process I've created a table of all the virtualization related
packages and their versions; both current and at the time Fedora 9 was
released. My plan is to next compare the changelogs and pull out improvements
to be placed in the F10 release notes.
