Yes, while that project will make things better organized, better presented, 
and hence easier to find, it won't create documentation that's missing, such 
as for XMLGUI.

I have no good idea how to make developers value/prioritize it, even for their 
own sake(as you touch below). I guess the solution is to put pressure on them 
by for example asking them many times(of course, that can be labeled in many 
other ways). Perhaps, such an "KDE Developer Reference" can help with that, 
if there's an chapter called "Core Technologies" about KConfigXT, DCOP, 
KParts, KCM etc, and XMLGUI is missing, then there will surely be some noise 
about that(but who knows when that's up & running).

Right.
