There is also the problem of the license, of course. Not sure they could accept an ALV2.0 with their own licences. I think the best solution is the wiki here for an original documentation. After, there is always the possibility to build a more classic version (book) with people who are interested in this type of documentation. A documentation project is always difficult to start.
