I disagree here. Sometimes I develop OO.o internals and sometimes I
develop extension. From the extension developer point of view (API
client), it is much better if documentation is written by someone who
uses this API. Sometimes it's unclear how to use it and if you (as a
client) do know how to use it, you can write documentation (even
uncomplete) for the same people = again, API clients. Your
documentation will be for sure better than documentation of someone
who did wrote these classes, methods, ... because you already know it
from client perspective.
