We have some older stuff [webmasterworld.com] on Yandex and doing a search brings up [google.com] a bit of info as well :)
Not really a primer, but should get you on your way?
I heard they do not count more then one link from a site.this is definetely not true. I've done only one SEO job with regards to this engine, but I assure you they index perfectly many pages from the same domain. Got actually all the pages indexed quite well.
General SEO recommendations are valid for this SE as for others, so your plan can easily be extended to Brett's 26 point plan. :-)
Good luck.
