Is there any doc available?

I've briefly looked at the source code, and found out that:

1. It looks like code from UBIFS, but tweaked and transformed, is this
right?
2. Various small coding style things which do not correspond to UBI
coding style. I usually want contributors to use the same style to keep
the UBI code uniform and consistent.
3. A design document would be cool.
