Hello Michael,

Let's have an overlook at the documentation available for MediaWiki:

_ ./doc/ in the MediaWiki software package
_ http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/mwdoc/ automaticly generated 
documentation for HEAD. Basicly parse comments from source code.
_ http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker

I learned code by fixing little bug, sometime I spent the whole evening 
to fix a minor bug. Now that I know the code a bit more, I can move 
around without needing any documentation.

A good ressource is the present mailing list, you might want to come 
idle in #mediawiki irc channel on irc.freenode.net :o)
