+* Project Status
+
+	
+	Pieces of Mono that have been implemented:
+
+		* C# compiler: The C# parser is pretty much complete,
+		it generates a parse tree and now semantic analysis and a few
+		compiler lever optimizations need to be implemented as well as
+		code generation.
+
+		* Metadata library: can currently parse and load
+		information from .NET modules (executables and DLL
+		files).  It has a few bugs outstanding (table
+		dimension computation is incorrect).
+
+		Parsing of Exception tables is missing. 
+
+		It lacks Token to (Table, Index) mapping, but should
+		be trivial to write. 
+
+		* Disassembler: Can disassemble .NET modules;  It is
+		lacking Exception handling as well as useful debugging
+		tools (hex dumping, token dumping).
+
+		* Class Libraries: Only a few classes have been
+		implemented. 
+
+	Tasks on the critical path that we are actively working on:
+
+		* Assembly mapper: Not implemented yet.
+
+		* Bytecode interpreter: Not implemented yet.
+
+		* Simple JIT: Not implemented yet.
+
+		* Garbage collection engine.
