Yes, we certainly should have a complete Clang manual independent of GCC's manual.

We do not have such a manual, and I don't know of anyone actively work on one.

Also look at GNU's manuals for the compilers for the individual programming languages - if you use CLang to build C++, then look at the g++ manual, for example, or third-party books, online tutorials, HOWTOs and the like for g++.
