Sorry, but this is not very constructive.

I do not have the knowledge about these things, but you(*) have (i believe). So i can't document this, but you can.

I know that documentation is a very boring and time consuming task (i'm a software developer myself), but it is an essential part of development. And if you want to avoid later problems (beginning from annoying, repetitive questions in the mailing list up to dirty patches based on misunderstanding), you should not ignore this task.

(*) Here 'you' is not just Koen but everyone who is responsible for a bigger a smaller part of OE. 

Regards,
Steffen
