Yes. Code has not been update a lot, I assume due to limited usage.
But there is much more that could be done, esp. with respect to
allowing additional schema-generation specific annotations.

I wish I had link at hand -- after a long time with no tools to take
that obvious step, one tool was recently introduced. I'll see if I can
locate it, it looked pretty promising.
Also, not sure if it'd work here, but Swagger
(
http://swagger.wordnik.com/) seems interesting and related to here.
People working on it are knowledgeable as well and I think would be
interested in co-operating.
