Hi Chris,

wonderful idea to get improvements in this section. Documentation is ever a 
point that is neglected, as coders normally don't like to write 
documentations.
To get the docs automatisied there has to be a concept for a help-engine 
first. This could be part of an extension.
Generating OO-Documents is IMHO not the perfect way, as we are on a website, 
html should be more easy, but feel free to develop a concept herefore.
