Welcome, Tyler! I found Jukka's how-to dev Tika in Eclipse very useful (don't know if you are an Eclipser, though): http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Newb-IDE-Maven-tp3389963p3390012.html
As with many projects, some of the most useful "documentation" is in the test cases, head to the test cases early and often. Thank you for the files you submitted on TIKA-1310!

I am a computer science master's student at NYU who will be working with Chris Mattmann this summer. I'll be working on the DARPA XDATA <http://www.darpa.mil/Our_Work/I2O/Programs/XDATA.aspx> project at JPL, using/adapting Tika to handle various Twitter and/or Bitcoin data. I'm excited to start contributing to Tika! Any development tips I should know? Thanks, Tyler
