[Owncloud] How does it work?

[Carl McDade]

I have read what's on those links but I remain clueless as to what step 
to take first. I guess it's a matter of asking the right questions then 
because the dev docs are no help. So let's start light. I am asking 
these questions because nothing I see in the addtemplate example or in 
the docs covers them. If you spot something direct links are very welcome.


1( Where can I find it documented on how to override default forms 
(login), links, pages (404) etc. ??

2( What does the code stack look like and how does it work?? What loads 
first or last? If I override something is it because the system sees it 
first or because it is loaded last?

3( Can overriding UI code (js, css, templates) be done in the app or do 
they have to be in the theme?

I have more but answers to these might eleminate to need for further 
questions.

Regards,

Carl

Granted it is an open source project and anyone can join in but we need a starting point. I have yet to find anything on the API, architecture or even comments in code that would allow to do more than just stare at the screen of my IDE in abject ignorance. Worse I can't fix anything that is broken because I have no idea where to go to find anything.
