Welcome!
I would like to ask you if there is any documentation
on creating new addons
for the pier systems, apart from the code.
Not much. Most documentation is linked from the website
<http://www.piercms.com/>. Also some people (including myself) wrote
blog posts on extending Pier.
Also if there is documentation for the already
existant addons, for all the
addons.
Is the list http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/pieraddons/ complete or are there
more?
This is a code repository, there are many other extensions if you
search on www.squeaksource.com.
If there is no documentation what are the differences
in creating components
for pier than for a general seaside web site.
Any Seaside component is a Pier component and can be directly plugged
into a Pier site. However, if you want your Seaside component be able
to interact and reflect on Pier it needs to know about Pier, for
example by subclassing PRWidget which is a subclass of WAComponent
with some added functionality. This is the only difference.
Do i have to learn magritte?
Not necessarily, but it will make your life much simpler.
