If you posted it last month then it was too late for the commit-fest
that started on March 1, IIRC, so the fact that you didn't get feedback
is hardly surprising - a commit-fest is like a mini-feature-freeze.

As for the rest, we are still feeling our way a bit, as should have been
apparent from the list emails, so formal documentation is probably
premature.
