Fantastic. As Simon says, what would be most helpful is better documentation on the wki, in the Commentary. The root is here http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary and the rudimentary GHCi docs are here http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/Backends/GHCi If that's too awkward, a link to a PDF would be good, but it's clearly not editable by others.

If you mean the details of bytecode compilation and the bytecode interpreter, I'm really not sure that there is. That's bad; there should be. I'm ccing Simon M in case he knows of something.
I'm just starting to write detailed documentation for the bytecode generator and interpreter as part of my Masters project,
What format would be most useful for you guys? I could do it in haddock and then include it into my project?
Or just do it in plain latex and make my report publicly available?
