Recently Vladimir Panteleev has ported the DMD Source Guide from the old wiki to the new one[1], and updated it with up-to-date information. I've added a "DMD Hacking Tips & Tricks" section[2], which should help people new to the codebase to start hacking on DMD-FE. I've only added a few tips that I know of.
Wow, that page is hugely improved since last time I looked (quite a while ago, TBH). Cheers to all who contributed!
One thing I'm still unclear on though (maybe someone in-the-know could add this info?): Last I looked at DMD's semantic code, there was a lot of stuff about "deferred" semantics. What's all that stuff about? It sounds like some sort of inverse of what the Wiki describes about handling forward references, but I don't know anything about it.
