It mostly looks fine to me. The JS Object to / from QVariantMap conversion isn't new to QtQuick 2.0, and QList<int> was supported in QtQuick 1.0 (but in a much slower form). But in general the summary is correct, I believe. However, as mentioned in my initial response to Rene, we are overhauling the documentation at the moment, so hopefully it manages to capture all of the required information in a simple and accessible manner. Wiki pages have a tendency to grow stale, unfortunately.
Cheers,
Chris.
