Here are a few older manuscripts that are (at best) purely educational. I don't currently intend to publish these, for a variety of reasons. Of course, I could change my mind.
Waldhausen's "Heegaardzerlegungen der 3-Sphäre"
(This is an annotated and illustrated translation, written for the benefit of local graduate students. I recently noticed that S. Schleimer has something along these lines as well.)
Amalgamations of Heegaard splittings are unique
(This is addressed elsewhere, for instance by D. Bachman and M. Lackenby. The result seems kind of obvious, but there is an issue here.)
