Hi i2o,
like Spragleknas said, MP-II has been heavily rewritten this year.
There is documentation available in the wiki section Spragleknas wrote: -> Home - MediaPortal Manual Documentation, you can navigate there to the MediaPortal-II section. Most of the docs are almost up-to-date or at least marked as "obsolete". There is currently much activity in some parts of the system, so the docs might not be completely up-to-date in some areas.

About your questions:
1) I started a document about the requirements here, but it is still only a very small starting point. The DevelopersSystemDocumentation, which is the central MP-II development page, contains a section "Architecture". Here are useful links about some design aspects. Else - you can also ask me.

2) There is no established development process for external coders yet. The idea is that the core system will be written by us core devs. The system is very modular and there are many many interfaces where you can add or modify functionality by adding plugins to MP-II. If you find code parts where you think they need to be fixed or rewritten, you can contact one of the core devs, at the moment you should talk to me. When the core system has stabilized, I guess we'll establish a "real" development process.

Regards,
Daniel
