I don't want to make it sound like I can't use some help, especially if it's 
offered.  I can't do this alone.  Forget it, especially with the day job. 
No, I figure it to be a 2 year task, at least.  But I would rather build 
something than talk about all the theory.  I fleshed out the phases I posted 
earlier with what I thought were some more managable tasks.  I'd like to 
point out that Phase 3, implementing the multithreaded vm, is entirely 
independent of SqueakElib and would be useable by anyone wanting to do 
multithreading.

Here's the new page, add what you like, help where you can, holler to talk 
it over: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6011

Cheers,
Rob
