New Revision: 12578

Modified:
   pypy/dist/pypy/documentation/index.txt
Log:
issue65 in-progress 

reviewed the list of references and found a lot of them
not really fitting anymore or not very helpful.  I thus 
reduced the list which is basically now a better start of a 
'related projects' sections.  We should probably invest some
more effort and make a real 'papers and talk' section 
on the index page, referencing our so-far presentations 
(including the OSCON one). 

Before removing references i would have liked to talk
this over with someone but no one was available and 
release time is coming close.

-* oscon2003-paper_ is a paper we presented at Oscon 2003 describing 
+* oscon2003-paper_ is a early paper presented at Oscon 2003 describing 
   what the pypy project is about and why you should care
 
-* An interesting thread on an HP tech report that may be proof the pypy is feasible_ . (We already knew that...)
+* Dynamo_ showcased `transparent dynamic optimization`_
+  generating translating a binary program into an optimizied version at runtime. 
 
-* An interesting thread on why VHLL rock_ . (We already knew that too.)
-	
-* A thread on Python in Scheme_ .
+* spyweb_ translates Python programs to Scheme. 
 
-* An intriguting project, FlashMob_ - creating an adhoc supercomputer.
+* `GNU lightning`_ generates assembly language at runtime. 
 
-* A discussion on Python and lisp_ support
+* `LLVM`_ the low level virtual machine project. 
 
-* An interesting repository_ of papers by Xerox Parc members, with quite a few issues more or less relevant to PyPy.
-
-* A thread on the gnu lightning_ project."GNU lightning is a library that generates assembly language code at run-time; it is very fast, making it ideal for Just-In-Time compilers, and it abstracts over the target CPU, as it exposes to the clients a standardized RISC instruction set inspired by the MIPS and SPARC chips."
-
-* A project to create a Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM_) and a PyPy-LLVM_ discussion, and conversation_ between PyPy and LLVM.
-
-* A thread discussing the xhelix_ python C extension implementing Helix encryption and authentication, which may be interesting to use as a pypy performance test at some point.
-
-* A paper for PyCon 2004: "IronPython_ is a new implementation of the Python language targeting the Common Language Runtime (CLR). It compiles python programs into bytecode (IL) that will run on either Microsoft's .NET or the Open Source Mono platform. IronPython includes an interactive interpreter and transparent on-the-fly compilation of source files just like standard Python. In addition, IronPython supports static compilation of Python code to produce static executables (.exe's) that can be run directly or static libraries (.dll's) that can be called from other CLR languages."
-
-* A comparison of Python and Pliant_ , an OS written in a python-like language. 
+* `Iron Python`_ a new Python implementation compiling Python into 
+  Microsofts Common Language Runtime (CLR) Intermediate Language (IL).
 
+* `Squeak`_ is a Smalltalk-80 implementation written in
+  Smalltalk, being used in `Croquet`_, an experimental 
+  distributed multi-user/multi-programmer virtual world.
