Definitely.

I remember having heard, that there is someone (even a team IIRC) 
working on the BeBook, but there's nothing at all in the repository. A 
lot of people (including myself) are using doxygen style comments to 
document their functions and classes. The API documentation could 
either be generated directly from the sources, or the BeBook writers 
should at least make sure that what they produce is compatible to the 
inline documentation.

CU, Ingo
