(Evidently you CC'd me, so pardon the two replies.)

Documentation will come at a later date, for a variety of reasons.

First, this is a development snapshot -- a very, very early sneak peek
at ZF2. So early, in fact, that it doesn't really look like what ZF2
will likely look like when stable. It's really a 1:1 port of ZF1 to
namespaces, with some minor refactoring. As it is, most code from ZF1
will work simply by migrating it to namespaces.

Second, if you read the "Milestones" document, one milestone is
documentation. We plan a documentation re-organization, with two goals:
making the documentation more predictable and thorough, and establishing
a clear baseline of documentation for contributors. This will have to
come after components have been refactored, however.

Finally, if you have played with PHP 5.3 at all, one area of
documentation that's lacking is a good API documentation generator that
understands namespaces. There are a few in the works right now, and
we're still evaluating what we will use.
