 	Pieces of Mono that have been implemented:
 
 	<ul>
-		* C# compiler: The C# parser is pretty much complete,
-		it generates a parse tree and now semantic analysis and a few
-		compiler lever optimizations need to be implemented as well as
-		code generation.
-
-		* Metadata library: can currently parse and load
-		information from .NET modules (executables and DLL
-		files).  It has a few bugs outstanding (table
-		dimension computation is incorrect).
-
-		Parsing of Exception tables is missing. 
-
-		It lacks Token to (Table, Index) mapping, but should
-		be trivial to write. 
-
-		* Disassembler: Can disassemble .NET modules;  It is
-		lacking Exception handling as well as useful debugging
+		* C# compiler: The C# compiler is mostly complete, a 
+	 	few features are still missing (for a list, check the
+		<a href="c-sharp.html">C# compiler</a> web page.
+
+		* The Mono JIT engine (<b>mono</b>.  The JIT engine is
+	        the real
+		virtual machine that we support.  It is
+		currently functional, and we are improving its speed,
+		and making it feature complete.
+
+		* A CIL bytecode interpreter (<b>mint</b>).  This
+		currently can be used to run most .NET programs
+		(modulo the fact that our class libraries are not
+		complete enough).
+
+		<b>mint</b> can currently run the Mono C# compiler and
+		the compiler generates valid code.  
+
+		We use <b>mint</b> as a reference implementation of
+		the runtime environment and to quickly support
+		non-Intel platforms.
+
+		* Metadata library: Can currently parse
+		and load information from .NET modules (executables
+		and DLL files).
+
+		* Disassembler: Can disassemble .NET modules. Still
+		lacking exception handling as well as useful debugging
 		tools (hex dumping, token dumping).
 
-		* Class Libraries: Only a few classes have been
-		implemented. 
-	</ul>
-
-	Tasks on the critical path that we are actively working on:
-
-	<ul>
-		* Method and Field resolution.
-
-		* Bytecode interpreter: Not implemented yet.
-
-		* Simple JIT: Not implemented yet.
-
-		* Garbage collection engine.
+		* Class Libraries: You can check the current status in the
+		  <a href="class-status.html">Class Status page</a>.
 	</ul>
