Yeah, this would be very helpful, so that folks can get an overview of
what is going on -- a context in which to review the patches.

Sounds great.

As far as administrative stuff, the URLs Mark posted are a good start.
I think what we'll do is get you a cvs account, but just for (our)
convenience at first... send patches to the java-patches list (if you
have any changes outside of the runtime, those should be CCd to
gcc-patches), someone will review them, etc.  Typically we do this for
a while and then eventually you can just commit things in "your area"
on your own approval.

If there is code that could go in Classpath, it would be best to start
talking about that too.  What does it do, what should we name it,
those kinds of things.
