That seems overly strict. Why not put up what you have ASAP? If they
need to be updated later, then replace 'em ... but better to have
not-quite-final docs than no docs.

Or at least put up a link to the development docs saying not-quite-final
docs can be found _over_here_. The problem isn't that there are no docs
available, it's that there's no link in the place that non-developers
would expect to look.
