I agree. There is a patch at #4857 for the developer's guide which contains a lot of this information, but it is languishing because the ticket has other issues. I'm not sure that this is the right thing to do, but I'm opening another ticket -- #5990 -- which contains only a patch for the developer's guide, with contributions from #4857, Alex's wiki page, and my own additions. (I think that improving the documentation is important enough that we shouldn't wait for other issues in #4857 to get resolved. Sorry if I'm stepping on any toes here.)
