React: A beginner's guide to exploring the source code
I have been using React for a while now, and I want to be able to contribute to the project. But I can't seem to figure out where to start, or which file to read first, etc,.
It'd be great if you could incorporate a beginner's guide right in this issue, which could be later sent to the docs, or as a special section in the docs.

Hi, this link to react's documentation might help you.
https://facebook.github.io/react/contributing/how-to-contribute.html
I think it's really helpful and provides a lot of informations and resources that will help you to start.
In my opinion there's no reason for separate issue for that.

Yea I think this is exactly the doc you're looking for. There's also an "Implementation Notes" doc next to it.
We are rewriting React right now so it's a bit confusing. Both implementations are checked in. We will soon delete the old one.

@pavelsuraba Thanks for responding, and citing that link.
@gaearon Should I wait for React 16 to land, then?
