If you want to look at the DW code, the easiest way is to apply at http://hack.dreamwidth.net/ for a Dreamhack, as installation is a big job. You can then ssh to that and browse the code to your heart's content.
BML files are the way a lot of the site is displayed - e.g. your profile is userinfo.bml, and that file contains a mix of actual Perl code and bits of HTML and stuff to make it display properly. There might be an entry on the wiki or at dw_dev or dw_dev_training that would explain it better.
Context-sensitive help and all that kind of stuff would be very useful.
