Once we get the core drivers working happily (graphics, DCON, USB, and 
CaFE NAND), then we'll be ready to be more organized with wiki pages, and
images and such.  Following working core drivers, our emphasis will shift
to the fringe drivers.

My personal target is to survive 1000 consecutive suspend/resume cycles
with a full system running a nominal load (sugar, nominal
CPU load + network).  If we accomplish that, then I think we'll be ready for
anything they throw at us.

After that we'll shift our attention to optimization, but I would
like to stress that at this point, stability trumps speed any day of the
week and twice on Sunday.
