I will work with the main contributors to LLDB in the near future and get something up on the http://lldb.llvm.org <http://lldb.llvm.org/> web site that addresses these issues. Once all main contributors have signed off we will make the web page live for the public to find. This is a long overdue page that needs to be created. It will allow us to modify the document as times goes on and also provide the insights as to why I decided to write LLDB in the first place, where we are going and who contributes to which parts, and what parts of LLDB need work. So stay tuned and I will reply to this message when the web page goes up, hopefully in the near future.
