Definitely agree- usually whenever I start looking at the source of an open source project it's difficult to figure out where things are. A top-down view of the project's architecture, besides just the source tree, would be extremely useful in situations like that.

Rusky,

I agree that understanding an Open Source project without proper documentation is really hard. For the same reason we are trying to create this site (http://www.codemaps.org/s/Lucene_Core) to document open source projects. This is still in beta and we would be glad to hear your thoughts on it.
