First of all - thank you for your interest in PyPy!

As to your question I would suggest (because you know best your 
experiences and interests) that you check out the documentation on

http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/index.html

You could read up on various aspect of the architecture and navigate 
down to the interesting details from there. Also - check out the EU 
reports on that page because they will also present some views on PyPy 
and the status achieved (until autumn last year).

And then I would say also pop by #pypy on irc.freenode.net and talk to 
the pypy developers there, and also ask questions you might have 
regarding your findings in the doc.

Also - please check the getting started doc - so that you could look at 
the source as well.

Are you planning to go to Europython? Because if you are we are going to 
sprint there and that is a very good way of getting into the project 
with tutorials and people present to answer question and pari up with.

Good luck!

Cheers
