Nope.  That's all I had time to write.  Contributions are welcome ;)

There's an updated version of the tutorial on jikesrvm.org, and "Anatomy
of a Garbage Collector" on the website also describes how a GC plan fits
together.

Run through the tutorial.  If there are bits that need updating, let me
know.  This should give you an idea of how the main building blocks in a
Plan fit together.

Then its best to start with something close to the GC you want to
build.  Beyond that, if you let us know what you're building I might be
able to point you in the right direction.

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent 
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under 
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
