Kicking the tires on the UX toolkit

An inter-institutional team is coming together to rewrite the
Assignments tool in Sakai, a team without any allocated design
resource, and so I've been actively reviewing the UX toolkit from the
perspective of those needs.
There are design patterns and components we might wish were already in
a Fluid release, of course, but that's not the point I'm trying to
make. It seems very likely that our Assignments work presents an
opportunity to create reusable chunks of UI, and it would really be
best for everyone if we tried to create them as Fluid components (as
opposed to merely trying to develop the UI portions in such a
commonsensical way that someone might review and adapt them).
So what we're missing is documentation on how to develop a Fluid
component. I think we'd like to contribute, fulfilling the ideal of
meeting local needs in a communally beneficent way, but we need to
better understand the standards, packaging, or what have you, which
would allow Fluid to accept and incorporate our contribution.
