Yeah. A wiki isn't the best way, but better than nothing.
Probably writing a documentation based on the XML Guide format Gentoo
is using is a good start.

All information I want is on the page [1], but the mentioned API
documentation would help other people to find easy access to
portage-development. 
This is the only improvement a "new" portage site needs in my opinion,
since writing something like this needs a good knowledge of Python,
easily asking someone to volunteer for it isn't good. :)
