The library was written by Wei Dai, so he's the one lone developer. Wei is kind of busy at the moment, so he turned things over to the community. That leaves an administration gap, so there are 4 or 5 people who can check-in changes. I'm one of the folks with the privilege, but I basically consider myself a steward until Wei returns. I try to look out for the library user's best interest, and the library's best interests. I am looking into source code.

Believe it or not, its gotten a lot better over the last few years. The API docs are located in the Manual. They tell you how to call functions, but they are missing the larger context. You can find a link to the Manual at the top of the homepage (https://www.cryptopp.com/). The extended docs that go into detail is located at the Wiki. Its not complete, but it goes a long way to help close the gap with the API docs. You can find a link to the Wiki at the top of the homepage (https://www.cryptopp.com/). A fellow named Denis Bider wrote a guide to Crypto++ years ago. I think it was written in the context of Crypto++ 4. Many of the concepts still apply today. You can find his guide at http://www.bitvise.com/users-guide.html, or in the Wiki at http://cryptopp.com/wiki/Category:User_Guide. We don't use IM or Chat because its of limited usefulness. I don't know any IRC or Chat software that produces searchable log files like Newsgroup or Mailing List archives, so any information shared on the channel benefits one person and is effectively lost. Because of the gaps, I prefer the User Group for contemporary or transient information (like the build is broken on ARM or MinGW), and the Wiki for long term dissemination of information (like how to use the library to decrypt in AES/CBC mode).
