I'm not sure where extensive documentation on the code base is, except in its own doc subfolder; I walked into the project blind at age 14 or so, and learned C, MUDs, and linux on the fly as I devled deeper into administration.
ftp.game.org is the ftp site where you can find just about any code base (a lot of diku derivatives there), and then reading everything in /doc should enlighten you a bit more. (I admit to having read a total of say 50 lines of documentation so far; I just read the code, and did so back when I was starting as well.)
Hope this helps,
