make it easier for developers to contribute

[aspiers]

Please forgive me spamming the project with new issues :-) But I'm excited to discover this tool and want to help it make better, and since I have very limited time, more importantly help others make it better.

Currently the user documentation is really great! However the developer documentation seems non-existent. The code looks nice, but there seems to be very little explanation of how everything fits together, which makes it hard for newbie developers to contribute.

So I suggest some simple steps in descending order of priority:

• Build a list of all the source code files which describes briefly what each one does.
• Write a short architecture document which describes how the different files / data structures combine together.
• Start documenting individual data structures.
