There actually is a google groups dedicated to just that topic.
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-docs?hl=en

I have similar concerns as you.  I think it will come together, but often
with open source projects, the docs have peaks and valleys over time in
regards to comprehensiveness, accuracy and usefulness.  It might be in a
valley, but a peak is on the way.

I know Tane Piper is looking for help on the project.  Everyone is
encouraged (more than that) to chip in.
