Yeah, there's no good comprehensive docs.  There's some stuff in the CHM but 
it's more oriented towards people wanting to extend IronPython than work on it.

If there's something particular you're interested in someone can probably chime 
in on the list.  IronPython it's self is pretty abstracted away from generating 
code now (we generally just generate expression trees everywhere).  So if 
you're interested purely in the compiler side of things you can look at the 
Tokenizer->Parser->AST transformations but then we're basically done w/ code 
gen at that point.

You'll have an easier time understanding Sympl, a sample programming language 
built on the DLR, which is at http://dlr.codeplex.com. The documentation for 
Sympl and the DLR itself is at 
http://dlr.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Docs%20and%20specs&referringTitle=Documentation.
 From there you can "upgrade" to IronPython, but then hopefully you'll feel 
comfortable with just the source code. There are some old docs at 
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=More%20Information, but really 
the source is your best bet.

Hi Pablo,
As far as I know there isn't any detailed documentation, but Dino
would know for sure.
