There is Ruby on Rails (1.8, 2.3.2) project. First version of project was made by some organisation. I will implement next versions of this project without any help from this organisation. I will be able to talk with developers from previous development team during meeting (1-3 hours).
Project statistics: ~10k LOC, 1.0/0.6 code to test ratio, rspec
What questions about project can you recommend to ask?
First review the entire project and to figure out as much as possible so you have context and can actually understand what they tell you.
Ask
Also, don't be judgemental, you want them to reveal any problems they know about. There are probably tons of things wrong with the app that they are embarassed about, which you need to know sooner rather than later. They're not going to open up to you if they don't trust you.
I would ask for a code walkthrough. Not line-by-line, but more for the overall structure of the project, relationships between individual modules, etc.
