It is time for us to slow down the changes to the internal plotting API so we can document the plotting system. The purpose of this proposed documentation is to help explain how a plotting class is structured to allow new developers to extend HoloViews themselves.
Although documenting the plotting system is the biggest job and highest priority, we will probably need a section on adding new elements as well in order for this to be useful. I imagine this documentation will serve as a guide to the core API which is already documented in the reference manual.
There is a fair bit of work to do here but I don't think we can postpone it any longer!
