Martin, >From my experience with Tess: you will spend lots of time trying to understand the way it works to be able to contribute, and after that you'll figure out that it's impossible to do it! The code is far away from being organized and it lacks comments as you noticed. No one knows how Tess internally works except the main developer, Ray Smith, who I believe abandoned the whole thing, he has no activity in the last months. Ray's paper <http://tesseract-ocr.repairfaq.org/downloads/tesseract_overview.pdf>describing Tess introduces the way Tess works but it's of no use when it comes to linking the info in the paper and the code. Some people from OCRopus <http://code.google.com/p/ocropus> succeeded in using Tess classifiers in their project, but they left it and built their own classifier according to [link<http://groups.google.com/group/ocropus/msg/96c4081a3213dbcc>], which tells that no one is working on Tess code anymore. Based on that, I suggest you save your effort for a better project like OCRopus.
Good luck..
