Alrighty, I'd like to offer my assistance

Installation:

The first screen to install Ionize fails if your server does not have short_tags enabled. CodeIgniter's ability to automatically rewrite them can't kick in yet as the installer is not really a CI app.

This is easy enough to fix - in the install/views folder do a search/replace on the view files and replace "<?=" with "<?php echo "

Here's the fixed files, attached.

@BrianDHall : I modified the zip package with your modifications. Thanks !

As you saw it, the installer is a "little" CI, as it don't use the CI dispatcher but its own one which loads some CI libraries.

Thanks all for your very warm welcome of Ionize !

About the doc :
For the moment, the PDF is the most advanced one. I have to complete the online one.
For the API, even the code is - from my point of view - well documented, I have to make a choice concerning the tool I will use to generate it...
