The source code is available from the Subversion repository and is 
probably the best thing for answering your questions.  You might try 
building it on x86 or ppc to see if you can get it working.  Surely 
that's a prerequisite to an ARM port.

I asked David for a copy of his thesis so we can put it on the Sable 
website.

Apart from that, David is under no obligation to answer questions, but I 
expect he will, eventually.

I would say so:

http://packages.debian.org/sablevm
http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2006/02/msg00030.html

I can't answer about ARM-specific problems, I would suggest using our 
bugtracker and searching for 'arm'.  The bugtracker is the best place to 
discuss those specific problems too.
