I would say give programmers all the results of your work as they move
into development. Don't make assumptions regarding what they will
find useful or what they will understand. The best programmers "get
it" and want all the info. The best thing you can do is bring
programmers into the project early and work collaboratively in areas
of overlap (like IA and wire framing).

If you give them a list of specs then all you'll get in return is a
set of functionality. Share the process with them and the result will
reflect their deeper understanding.

Similarly, you may find that your work is better informed and  fully
leverages the technology if you maintain a dialog with programmers
through out the process.
