You haven't really asked a question, or told us what you are trying to do 
(e.g. what kind of features), or what level of background you have, or what 
problems you have, so this is necessarily a bit generic:
 - you should start with Techbase: http://techbase.kde.org/Development
 - kdelibs is, as the name suggests, a set of libraries. The API documentation 
for those libraries and other parts of KDE is found at http://api.kde.org/
 - for many parts of KDE, you may have to read the source code to understand 
the functionality and architecture.
 - you may be able to do what you are looking for without modifying the 
libraries, using a plugin or special handler. Check for that before getting 
too much into the source (remembering that KDE requires source and binary 
compatibility).
