There isn't any manual for Dev-C++. I do not participate in the development
of Dev-C++ too.

As far as I know there isn't any manual. But is there any need for a manual
regarding Dev-C++? If you think there is, there is a great thing you can do.
Since it can't be large anyway, you can write one with your name always in
it, and provide it freely for all the rest on the web. I am sure Colin will
place it at his web site willingly. After all, that's what open source
projects are about. There is even GNU license for manuals!

As far as I know there isn't one. However please make your own as an HTML if
you wish to make it open source.
