The current status is that the UDF and DARE drafts are essentially done. I
do not expect to make major changes to those drafts in response to my work.
I will of course expect to make changes due to the review cycle so if you
are interested in reviewing, those are the drafts to look at.

The next one I expect to be ready is the algorithms draft (8). This is
pretty complete except that I have moved in work from elsewhere which needs
attention and examples. Those will be the next examples generated by the
code.

If you want to see the scope of the work and how it hangs together, the
architecture guide has the text but not the pictures or conversations.
