J. Tyler Nichols started such a project (Newton X Press) around April
of last year. You can see some of the discussion here on NewtonTalk in
the archives:
<http://www.newtontalk.net/archive/newtontalk.2006-04/index.html#318>
I believe his work was based on the developer documentation and some
of Eric W. Brown's (of <http://www.newtonslibrary.org/>) reference
materials originally published for a CS course at BU. Unfortunately,
Eric's BU page is down, but it looks like it was grabed once by the
Internet Wayback Machine:

He also developed and maintains the Newton Book Reader Extension for
Firefox <http://www.newtonslibrary.org/nbrdr/>, so he hopefully still
has the info archived elsewhere as well.
Tyler went silent part way into the project and his site is down as
well, but a couple of his news pages are cached by Google:
