What is the best method of understanding how and why a framework was written the way it was?
Develop a feature for it, or fix a bug. If you use the framework for developing a real-world solution, you can make a list of shortcomings to address or features to add that would make your task easier.
Fixing a bug will really help you understand the code, because most of the time you are given a piece of example code that recreates it, which you can then trace down into the bowels of hell to find where things go wrong.
All it takes is persistence, really.
