+### Reimplement the JDK in Scala-Native
+
+Scala-Native is a new target for Scala. Instead of compiling to bytecode and running on the JVM, we
+use llvm to generate native assembly code. We currently do not compile Java to llvm. Therefore we need
+to reimplement some parts of JDK such as `java.net.*`, `java.io.*`, `java.nio.*` and `java.util.*`. We are already
+reimplementing the JDK and we need your help to increase our coverage. It'a unique chance to learn
+how to implement the java api and write low level Scala code.
