About this board
This is the storage place of a book (collection of pages). You can load it from here, generate a PDF, let a book printed, edit it or otherwise update its content. Be reminded that when overwriting this book storage page with an updated version of the book, the previously assigned categories are not automatically copied to the recent version: you need to manually copy the categories from the former version. (Problem has been filed as enhancement request)

The JS/API/UI Extension Developer Library (JEDL) is a collection of pages on the MediaWiki.org website which can help developers in regards to using JavaScript (JS) within MediaWiki, MediaWiki's Application Programming Interface (API) and MediaWiki's User Interface (UI).
We expect that this will be especially useful for gadget authors — those people who extend Wikipedia and other MediaWiki sites primarily through Javascript.

Maybe a simpler name or a shortcut? ;-)
JEDL is the shortcut.
I think what User:Rillke has done here -- offering the user a way to automatically report errors -- should be considered a best practice and documented more thoroughly here.
User:Rillke also pointed me to w:de:Wikipedia:Technik/Skin/JS which has lots of helpful pointers.
On Polish wikipedia there is also this:
And here is a request to have some sort of error reporting added to RL core.
I think this needs a small introductory text, perhaps defining the scope, target audience, etc. Right now it feels like merely a collection of related resources and doesn't make it clear what goal it aims to assist (maybe a few examples would help).
For instance, MAH called it "documentation for gadget authors" in the message he left me on my user page; that's a good start, I believe, but I guess it might be useful for other audiences and purposes as well.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Is the above a fair start?
I appreciate it. I've added a little bit more about the intended audience.
