RE: assigned modules

Along these lines, according to the "componentization" page [1] on the Wiki,
there are a number of missing projects from the classlib. Would it be of
value to at least stub out some of these major components? Perhaps things
like Annotation, Instrument, Lang-Management, RMI, Concurrent, Prefs? It's
not glamorous work, but I'd be willing to do some of it. I didn't know if
there were any possible donations on the horizon that we might be waiting
for.

We actually don't assign things because we don't want to create feelings 
of territory.

That said, if someone is working in an area, it's courteous to show some 
deference in order to avoid commit clashes :)

However, I think your question is different - we don't have a full 
classlibrary map, and that would be nice.

There is some info on the wiki already.  Are you interested in producing 
  one suitable for the website?

Hello Nathan,

Welcome :-)

However,  as you may know, it may be difficult to implement annotation 
and instrument as we have no Java 5.0 compatible VM which can be used by 
Harmony.
Also,  there are prefs implementation in Harmony-88. :-)
