Hi Michael,

Thank you very much for jumping in. Your interest shows the demand for 
such feature, which is what we need the most at the moment. The more 
people the better the momentum and likelihood of getting more help. 
Let's blow the horn!

As you probably already know, the real work is Graham's PR [1] where the 
magic is going to happen and where you can help.
Graham who has been involved and working with the Sphinx library offered 
to 'dump' the API schema which is already in memory, what I call the 
de-facto API Schema, which is needed to generate the API Reference 
guides. So instead of asking developers of each project to change their 
habits and write an API schema up front, it seemed easier to just use 
the current work flow in place with the documentation (API Ref) and 
generate the API schema which can be stored in every project Git.
