Hey Yordan, 1) Check out http://thrift.markmail.org to search the thrift mailing lists. 2) It seems like http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/LibraryFeatures is a start for what you're looking to see on the wiki. Given that it is a wiki, you could help fill out the documentation with a skeleton of what you're requesting, perhaps filling in some of it yourself.
