Hi Xiao-Feng, Alexei, Well that shouldn't take that long I guess. I'm a bit familiar now on the Harmony end, and I have been hacking parrot's interface too. Have patched one bug there and working on some more. They are keen in improving their GC interface. I'm getting good cooperation on that end.
Will work on the doc, from now, util I have something solid. I will use the wiki for this.
