Currently we are in a phase where documentation for Xfce 4.8 is almost
inexistent.

You can copy the documentation from Xfce 4.6 (which for some
components is a copy from 4.4) to have a starting point.

Furthermore, documentation is ment to be migrated inside the specially
crafted xfce4-docs git repository, so some minimal git knowledge is
most certainly needed.
You can find instructions for writers and developpers at the following
Wiki section:
http://wiki.xfce.org/documentation

I started the pages about a month ago. I invite you to go through them
to have a good idea of how documentation should be set up :)

If you have questions for getting started with a git clone repo for
example or how to submit your changes (hint: "git format-patch origin"
to create patches of your commits), feel free to ask.

Kind Regards
