Yes! i'm one of them, some missing documentation and guidelines did not permit 
me to complete my osm tool... i'm coding since may, hoping to release  
sources for public review but  i had to patch or deeply change my sources due 
to a missing informations/roadmap... mailing-lists are good for discussions 
but not for docs :),  someone should report strategic points on the wiki 
developers page...
