Where is the documentation for MVVM Light?
To answer your question, no there is no official documentation for the mvvm light toolkit, but I will give you the links I used myself and they were more than enough for me.
Those two conferences from laurent demonstrate the main uses of the toolkit along with general mvvm presentation. I found them really interesting and would recommend watching them if you are looking for what this toolkit is capable of.

The primary documentation source is MVVM Light's website. Additional, documentation in form of problem solutions can be found right here on Stack Overflow. Also looking at the source code might help.
Personally, I think that both Laurent's presentation at MIX'10 and Josh Smith's article are best to start.
However, there is no explicit documentation for two reasons:
- It is a free tool and writing extended documentation is a time-consuming task.
- Nobody has volunteered to do so.
There is some documentation in the source code that could be extracted by using SandCastle, but I believe that the classes are reasonably self-documenting. Furthermore, in all the time I used MVVM Light I did not have the need for additional documentation, other than the documentation provided by the two sites above and the problem solutions here at Stack Overflow.
I know the question is old, but I just stumbled over the same issue. The API docs for all platforms and as HTML and CHM are located here: http://www.mvvmlight.net/help/
