The way this project (like many open source projects) works is that people write things they want/care about/are interested in. If someone else wanted to do it they'd've done it already, so it looks like the answer is no, nobody else wants to.

Telling someone exactly where to look in this case is analogous to explaining the library filing system to someone who can't read the language the books are written in.

The beauty of RockBox is the customization. You don't have to be restricted by what Rockbox currently offers... You can modify it to your liking, and if its lacking something you want, then you can add it! :). And if that modification is good enough, it can even be added to the official build.
But for those of you who don't know anything about coding, (kinda like me) that can be a draw back. But there is always time to learn, and there is no better time then now.
I think the best place to start is theming. Its a great way to get to know your way around the ".rockbox" files. I have learned ALLOT from looking at other peoples themes. The best way to learn is to fallow the leader.

For what it's worth, I'm not entirely sure that learning our proprietary skin engine language would be beneficial in any way to learning C or ASM.
It certainly couldn't hurt, but I don't think it would help. There are no similarities in these languages.

I'll go further, it'll be of no use at all :)

You're right, I don't know C, and shouldn't be doing this. Therefore, I won't.
