Hi John,

Well, you could write a page linked to the developer page that describes
some common functions that are used in the source code of Geany :-D

Seriously, its a good idea, its called design documentation, the only
problems are that doing it after the fact takes time away from the
development tasks and, well, no one who knows how it works wants to do it.

The other way to get more familiar with the code is to do something with
it, select something from the features tracker (or your own feature,
something you are interested in, since if you are like me you won't persist
if you are not interested) that can be done as a plugin.  Plugins use many
of the Geany functions, but they are generally better documented, see
http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/

Make sure you post here what you decide to do for advice and to avoid the
(very unlikely) chance of someone else doing the same thing.

Cheers
Lex
