I've just added a new documentation about the API concept in the trac: 
http://dev.piwik.org/trac/wiki/API

Documenting stuff is very useful: while writing this documentation I 
actually had to add features, etc. to make it work properly.
For example there is now an anonymous user. You can grant access to 
anonymous user, but can never update its information or delete it.

It means that now you can make your piwik public and open your 
statistics. This is useful for the API because you don't have to sign 
the calls when the anonymous user is allowed.

Also you can now include the piwik/index.php and really use piwik 
objects to request stuff. This is quite powerful and I thought it would 
be more difficult to do it....

All in all a great night cos now I'm pretty sure it will be quite easy 
to make it possible to integrate piwik html output in other designs...

please give your critics about the documentation
