Well, I think most of us have read that at least once. At least I did. It can at least serve as a primer, and if it's kept up-to-date then it can even be a reference
I agree, although I spent a full summer working on Inkscape before I discovered this info in the wiki. Just like Johan I usually investigate code by looking at it, and often enough I find myself grepping through the whole code to understand how pieces of code are interconnected (no need for Notepad++, though :-P ). Still, every now and then I don't understand what the SPFooBar class is supposed to mean or how it relates to the things I see on my canvas and then I'm grateful if there is some piece of documentation on it. So I believe we definitely should have this material as as reference, but I feel it could be improved to help newbie developers better understand the class hierarchy. Unfortunately, I don't feel qualified/capable of doing this atm. :-(
