Some overview docs might be somewhat helpful for sure, but I think at 
this level you probably mainly need to get your hands dirty

Having an example storage engine which is also a bit simpler (eg an 
updated sql engine) would actually be quite good for this I suspect.  I 
quickly dropped looking at the real code for playing with the sql code 
and found it quite a bit simpler to get an overview

Thanks and interested to see this progress
