Unfortunately the current team are not the original authors and we got 
the code from CMU with little documentation, so we're involved in an 
ongoing process of reverse-engineering and trying to document what we 
learn as we work on various parts.

Start from:

  http://www.gwydiondylan.org/gdref.phtml

What we know (and have documented) about the internals is at:

  http://www.gwydiondylan.org/gdref/gdmaint.html

If you have trouble understanding something and can't find documentation 
we'd like to know -- chances are someone can explain it but just hasn't.  
And if you have an *ah-ha* then we'd like to hear about it.  Notes 
appreciated...

If you get *really* enthusiastic, you can check out the source code for 
the documentation as the gd/ref module in the cvs server and submit some 
diffs.
