Nope.  That's all I had time to write.  Contributions are welcome ;)

There's an updated version of the tutorial on jikesrvm.org, and "Anatomy
of a Garbage Collector" on the website also describes how a GC plan fits
together.

Run through the tutorial.  If there are bits that need updating, let me
know.  This should give you an idea of how the main building blocks in a
Plan fit together.

Then its best to start with something close to the GC you want to
build.  Beyond that, if you let us know what you're building I might be
able to point you in the right direction.
