Welcome to styles and design!

The official styles community, where you can read announcements from the team and ask questions, is dw_styles.
The official community for submitting styles for consideration to be included in the system is dreamscapes. You can go there and submit drafts of intended system styles you'd like help with, and you can also help out others with their styles.
There are also some auxillary help communities: style_system and layoutmakers. These are appropriate places to ask questions about the style system and share resources.
You can find tools to help you develop Dreamwidth styles at the_style_kit
We currently know of two established communities for sharing styles: dreamwidthlayouts and mintyapple.
The IRC channel #dw_styles is available for real time communication; for more information on using IRC, see the IRC and IRC help wiki pages.
Here is a list of style bugs on Bugzilla; you can read more on doing development in particular on Dev Getting Started.

Currently, the S2 documentation is kind of sad and out of shape.

LJ's old S2 docs -- these have some useful information
There is also an S2 Category of pages, but not very comprehensive or enlightening.
People already familiar with S2 might be able to glean things from the core2.s2 code.
People familiar with S2 and Perl might be able to glean more from the S2.pm code.
