All FCL documentation is in

http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcdocs/trunk

As for future plans: I plan to continue documenting the basic units:
fcl-base, fcl-db, fcl-web, fcl-json.

Contributions are more than welcome, as long as they adhere to a strict
rule: I don't publish documentation for a unit unless it is complete.
