I'd start with what happens when the application starts up and when an individual request comes in. Maybe draw out some UML sequence diagrams to visually show the order of events and compnents talking to each other.

I am trying to understand a pre-existing application so that I can extend

My question is: What's a good way to attack this problem?

Specifically I want to understand some parts of Mura so that I can modify
and extend the functionality. Mura uses ModelGlue and Coldspring (And
Fusebox for the admin).

I've been digging around in the code and trying to understand their content rendering process. But, I thought someone on the list might have some good ideas of how to methodically analyze and understand all the objects in an
application like this.

Thanks for any suggestions!
