I have written a bit of what I consider an API reference for the
1.0/WidgetsWithJSAndCSS doc. This was only for 5 classes, 1 function and a
variable and took me about 2-3 hours, because you have to be very accurate and
look forward and backward through the source to get it right. IMHO it is very
difficult to write those kind of docs after the code has been released and If
you're not the author of the code itself.

It has been suggested before that new code should only be accepted if it comes
with such a reference, and this writing experience makes me want to agree with
that.

But nobody said it was going to be easy ;-) Maybe we should start by assigning
people to the various modules or sub-packages of TurboGears, to share the load.
And one person should organize the efforts by streamlining the docs, coming up
with formatting examples, etc.
