Others have attended to most of the issues in this post; I will just add
one thing:

The 2.0 API documentation should be shipped as part of your
distribution's binaries for libgnome. Alternatively, they are built by
default if you are building from source and installed under
$(prefix)/share/gtk-doc/html/libgnome/. At the time of the 2.0 release,
the public API of libgnome was fully documented.

With regards to the "50% done" comment, the 2.0 documentation has just
been fleshed out a bit and the missing pieces included. I think that
comment (in 1.x) was actually an understatement of the amount of work
that had been done.
