I've been watching pugs for a while and would like to get more involved.
To that end I've been exploring the source tree.
As a newbie, I've got a lot of questions, So I'm attempting to learn by
updating and adding documenation.
My patches may seem obvious to the seasoned pugs hacker, however, I'm
attempting to help newbies be able to understand more of the
directory structure and architecture without a personal tutorial.
I'm sure I've got some things wrong, I've figured out what I know by
just poking around.
Anyway, this is my first attempt at a pugs doc patch :)
Comments welcome!

Speaking about directory structure how about
backends/Perl5/codegen
/Perl6-MetaModel-Impl
/runtime or prelude (What exactly is a prelude?
how does it differ from a runtime library?)
/Perl6 /...
/JS/...
/PIR/Parrot/..
or
Perl6-MetaModel-BACKEND
ie
Perl6-MetaModel-Perl5
Perl6-MetaModel-JS
etc
I found pugs/perl5/ a little confusing at first
