did you document all the stuff that you learned on the Wiki? If not, then you are in good company with a lot of other users and also developers. During the first years of development, a lot of code had to be written and all that code had to be documented as well. However, the documentation task did not receive as much attention, neither from developers nor from early adopters, so here we are with a lack of documentation. I would love to point you to wiki pages full of information on the internal workings of Matterhorn. But unfortunately, it does not exist and as long as there is no need by the community to dig into this, nobody will be writing the missing documentation. Luckily enough, the developers have come to an agreement that there should be no more code without proper documentation, but it's up to the developers themselves as well as people like you to intervene when new features make it into the Matterhorn code base without documentation.
