things we have all learned where to look for

For the wiki, I'd like to build a list of "things we have learned where to look for" -- like, "I want to change this thing. Where in the code would i find it?"

Some examples of what I mean, quick 'cause my brain's melting:

text string on page $foo --> in $foo.text or in ~/bin/upgrading/en.dat
styles --> ~/bin/upgrading/s2layers
all the routines that make html controls --> ~/cgi-bin/htmlcontrols.pl
control strip --> ~/cgi-bin/weblib.pl

Stuff like that! What should be on that list?

It's "table of contents" rather than "index" type information but at least some of this information could usefully go also into http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Main_development_folder under subdirectory sections for each directory.
