I have started posting what will be a series of designer notes about the conversion of Rappan Athuk into PFRPG and also into Swords & Wizardry (FGG's retro-clone of Original D&D). It will also have (mostly non-spoiler) discussions about new levels that are being added and how these are being integrated, written, and designed.
Most of this will focus on the conversion from RA 3e into the old-school rulesets, but there will also be a lot of material about general design matters that are common to Pathfinder.
The first installment of the series is here:

I hope everyone enjoys watching the progress of this massive task as it moves forward!

Linked it for you, Matt.
I've added the second installment to the Design log.
Very cool. I look forward to the progress.
subscribed. Please keep posting these. They are very enlightening.
Dotting for later.
Third and fourth installments are up, although the fourth installment is really just a quick note about what I mean by the "Swords & Wizardry Version" for those not familiar with retro-clone games.

For those who wish to read the third and fourth installments of Matt Finch's designer's notes, my link above for the Second Installment will take you straight to the most current post on his blog.
