Is there a developers guide for MediaWiki? Unfortunately the code doesn't seem to be well documented as far as comments and such go. Tsk tsk. ;)

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)
There isn't any for 1.3, but there is some for 1.4. See Ashar's response for 1.4 docs.
