Another high priority thing to check out is the README files in the
code (this is mentioned tangentially in the developer FAQ).
Personally  (and I'm no expert) I find some parts of the code much
easier to dive into without a lot of surrounding context than others
-- it could take a lifetime to learn it all.  My advise is to start
small and pick a very specific topic and focus on that.
