It took me two hours of reading man pages just to get some extra code to compile that was basically just copy/paste from other areas in the source. But I *learned* something. That's the important part. I haven't looked at the wmii source, but dwm and surf both have been rather easy to follow. That's because of the great developers here. We, as mere lusers, don't want the code to become bloated, full of crap, and harder to change. I read somewhere that good developers make code that they can read. Great developers make code that *anyone* can read. Just dig into the code for an afternoon. Try changing something. A border width or something. When the compile fails go read up on programming in C. Start small. I no time you'll have something worked out you can call your own. Have fun!
