Great!

I'll do my best to answer them.

We don't have such things as requirements or specs. There is however a
developer documentation in the docs directory. You might also want to
get a git clone of the source and try to compile it on your machine to
start with. Have a look at http://live.gnome.org/Planner/Development

From http://live.gnome.org/Planner/About

"Planner is the GNOME project management tool.
Its goal is to be an easy-to-use no-nonsense cross-platform project
management application."

I think that sums it up already quite well. :)

Nothing written as far as I know. You can have a look at the list of
open bugs and feature requests on
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=planner

What kind of documentation are you looking for?

I hope these answers will help. If you still have questions, don't hesitate.
