[Ascent] Development help?

I've recently aquired the source code through SVN for Ascent and have managed to compile it and get it working fine. I recently tried to implement some Karazhan mobs, and in toying around with various things, I've noticed some small little broken bits here and there.

I started to sift through the code, but it's a little overwhelming and without spending a lot of time tracing through the code, I probably have little chance of stumbling across the code I'm looking for. So I'm asking, is there a separate place to go for development assistance? Looking around here, most issues seem to be with running and maintaining the server, rather than modifying it.

I have a lot of experience with C and C++ and many other languages so I'm not looking for a tutor, more just a shove in the right direction.

I'll give an example of the type of thing I'm wanting to look at. In testing my Karazhan instance, I made a tank char and I noticed that imp shield block did not give me two charges. So I went looking for references to shield block, took a look around to find how buffs are applied, and also had a look at how combat was calculated. None of these places seemed to lead to much relevant.

So my question is, is there a separate place I should be asking these questions? Or is this the place?
