Good architectural summaries would help here; I
know David already has a lot of background reading
planned before start-of-coding this summer.  Can
you provide pointers to design documents or email threads
discussing any of these?

I'm not familiar with Anders work; what is the
current status of it?  Why hasn't it been pushed
into SVN yet?  Is there a good summary of what
it does so far and what remains to be done?

Cheers,
