Is there documentation or an SDK for Microsoft Edge extensions yet?

Is there any published documentation or an SDK for writing extensions for Microsoft Edge? If so, I can't find it. If not, is there an ETA when this might be available? It would be nice to get a jump on this before the Windows 10 release.
