   Yes, anything global needs to be considered.
   These will certainly need to change:

+- In conjunction with above, write more programs that use multiple threads
+  - try a simple one with 3-6 threads just writing data to output, and then files
+  - simple multithreaded example such as producer/consumer
+  - find at least one more algorithm that can be parallelized
 - document at a high level how the GC works
   mostly what minor/major GC's are, and how they are interleaved.
 - user manual
   need to document everything, including:
-  - how to use cyclone (meta files, compiling modules, etc)
   - what to be cognizant of when writing threading code. esp, how to deal with stack objects (initiating minor GC's, etc)
+    this probably should be part of the user manual itself
 - revisit features list, issues list, etc
