It's fairly new, and it takes time to put together support materials (especially while the development itself means that the system is subject to change).
That said, often enough documentation can be simplified by changing the code (sometimes it's easier to make it be easier to describe than it is to describe the quirks of the current behavior). So there's that to look forward to. That said, I'm not the developer here and perhaps we are all overlooking some important documentation resources.
