I, personally, found it useful to install the
sources and incrementally turn on and/or add new
diagnostic type print statements to gain an
understanding of top to bottom control and 
information flow in a simple operation such as
drawing a single triangle.   gdb can also be
useful in just gaining an understanding of whats
going on.  Because of the extensive use of 
function pointers, its not always easy to follow
flow by simply perusing the source files, but to me
understanding basic bindings, control
flow and information flow is an essential 
prerequisite to being able to contribute.
