For big software, take notes is useful for understanding the big picture.

How you take notes? With pen/paper, or just a notepad; and what you usually will write for note?

    Is this really a serious question? I use crayons and paper with really fat lines. And when i'm not using that i will use object models, class diagrams, sequence diagrams, etc. – slugster Mar 04 '10 at 09:14
  • Just for curiosity, sometimes it took me a long time to catch the software's design/implementation. Especially when there is not much documents about the design or implementation. – Sam Liao Mar 04 '10 at 09:17

If you're a team: install a wiki and contribute all your discoveries there. Will preserve the knowledge for eternity and sharing it will be very easy.
