I suggest that you read the documentation on the minnow swiki and the FAQ
and have a look at the Guzdial book. However I agree that a coherent
documentation is still missing. Partly because Morphic is still work in
progress and you can find out alot by just browsing the classes. 

Don't hesitate to ask specific questions here. Mostly they are answered
to a considerable detailed level here and we later can enlarge the FAQ and
the minnow swiki.
