I have not see any significant amount of developer documentation, but I can say 
from experience the source code is clear and clean, and very easy to learn.  So 
I think a third party could make a fair go at generating documentation (and get 
it close to right) without Timo's help.

I've seen this request turn up at times.  Have you checked back through the 
archives to see if anyone has found a "workable" solution?

My hope is to avoid this sort of thing (at least from mailing lists) with shared 
folders, but that's for another time...
