A good starting point is
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_Wikipedia_hacker. There
is some documentation, in varying levels of completeness, at
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide.

As well as the wikitech-l mailing list that Mark mentioned, there is
an IRC channel at #mediawiki on freenode where you might be able to
get some advice.
