No, we haven't been generating it. Some classes are better documented
than others, though I've tried to keep anything written in the last
few years reasonably clean.

To build the javadoc you use:
  build.sh javadoc
or, on Windows:
  build.bat javadoc

I notice that there are a number of errors, but the process completes
all the same.

We'd love you to.  :-)

Let me know if you need to know anything. I'm not always attentive to
IRC (like today), but I'm usually close to email. Alex is often
helpful as well, but he's busy getting married this weekend, so I
don't expect to much of him for a little while.
