If there's any specific questions you want to ask about the code or its organization, feel free to send them to the list or to me directly. The most useful tool I've found for diving into a large codebase is grep. For example, if I want to find out where the library code is, I'll run something like "grep -i library *.cpp", and take a careful look at the output. (I would say that starting to use grep effectively was a turning point in my open source career, hah) :) I don't mind helping people get started with the code base at all, so don't be shy (this goes for everyone).
