Here's a place to start: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute
But if you're looking for architectural diagrams, formal inheritance hierarchies etc there aren't any comprehensive ones that I know of. The best way I know of is to pick something you think needs to be improved and make a patch. Or add to documentation. Or look at the JIRAs that have been written and pick one to review. Or... anything else that needs improving. In general though, the two are big projects and very few people know all the parts, people tend to have deep knowledge of some part of it and more or less familiarity with other parts, so pick something, dive in and go! I would recommend, though, that if you are writing code to outline your approach either in a JIRA or here on the dev list rather than code it all up first, people might suggest ways togo about it that keep you from going down too many blind alleys.
