well, everything is in the subject I guess...

Re: Restitution, damping...where are these variables documented?
restitution is the "bounciness", from 0 (no bounciness) to 1 (no energy lost). You can use a value >1 but this will cause positive feedback.
damping is the proportion of velocity lost per second, although there is currently a bug in the damping algorithm that causes the wrong amount of damping to be applied each internal step, but it's easy to patch if this matters for you: http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=74
