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.
