For tilesets, we have the How to update a tileset from X to Y series
of articles. See
http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Editing_tilesets
and http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Editing_rulesets list similar pages
for rulesets (changes between 2.2 and 2.3 as well as changes between 2.3 and
2.4). At the moment this page is not linked anywhere in the wiki. Perhaps a
portal for modders (ruleset/tileset/...) is needed?
I work on an update for the lua script module (http://gna.org/patch/?2520) and
will write a documentation / update the lua pages of the wiki. For a test of
the new implementation I'm working on a test save file which uses all defined
lua functions. Thus, the output of a given freeciv version can be compared to
the correct result.
Furthermore, my local patches add functions to list all signals and their
callbacks as well as print a list of all defined lua functions / variables. I
will update the patches on gna.org at the time I have defined the test case
and it is working for the rewritten script engine.

It's unavoidable problem that ruleset and tileset formats and
scripting interface change between freeciv versions. All the custom
content needs upgrading between versions. We cannot expect that
authors of those works figure out how to do that by reading svn commit
logs and such. Proper migration guides are needed.
Even for us it can be quite a challenge to write that documentation
before releases by going through commit logs for related changes. I
think we have to start maintaining such documents for development
version constantly. When one commits something that changes those
formats, documentation must be updated immediately.
I believe this documentation belongs to wiki. I'll leave it up to
wiki experts to decide how these documents should be named and where
they should be linked from.
