Indeed, X documentation is sparse everywhere. We've been trying to collect some information in our wiki page [0]. But mostly there are related with development [1]. Wikipedia's articles are very nice either [2] (maybe these pages are overlapping something though). DRI guys have done a better job and organized some docs [3]. There's also some documentation in our repositories [4]. Besides this all, there's some sparse papers on the Web, such X protocol, keithp's, jim gettys, others. Therefore, if you want to help, I'd suggest you to start collect them all, set up a wiki page at wiki.x.org, and let it with a nice presentation to people start to in fact use such page (yes it's important!).
