Stepping through ghc

[Arash Rouhani]

Hi Omar,

You might want to narrow your scope to one part of GHC. For example, I 
mostly focused on the Run Time System to be able to conduct my master's 
thesis. Also, you might want to start off with a tiny goal, like to fix 
bug XYZ.

Oh, and most important of all is the Commentary, which I think of as a 
wiki for GHC developers. http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary

Cheers,
Arash
