So we basically have no user-friendly documentation on the wiki for people to 
actually understand 
the pieces of the GRT framework in terms of how they should be used.

You need a top-level document:

- whose target audience is reasonably intelligent people who have never used 
Java to program a robot,

- that clearly states the "problem statement" that GRT framework is trying to 
solve, 

- that explains how the framework actually solves the problem, 

- that lists some of the possible advantages and disadvantages of using the 
framework, and

- that gives a _brief_ overview how concurrent processing is handled in the GRT 
framework (e.g. does the VM handle the concurrency or does vxworks do that?  
are threads cooperatively or preemptively multithreaded?  etc)

:) agree with etherjoes.

PS. 
Threads are managed by the VM...I'm not sure if VXWorks does cooperative or 
preemptive multithreading but im betting its preemptive given that its an RTOS.
