Cokernel of the stable J-homomorphism at odd primes
Perhaps it is worth saying that you can cross check with Ravenel's tables at math.rochester.edu/people/faculty/doug/mybooks/ravenelA3.pdf. For example $\sigma^2$ is actually in the 14-stem. Likewise the other dot in the 2nd band is (I think) the element $x_{28}$ is the 28-stem. Hatcher's "essentially" refers to the fact that there are some elements in coker J in the bottom band, for example $\eta^2 \in \pi_2$ that Craig mentions below

Cokernel of the stable J-homomorphism at odd primes
Each dot represents a copy of $Z/p$, whilst connected vertical dots are meant to represent a non-trivial extension (e.g. at $p=2,\eta^3$ corresponds to a $\mathbb{Z}/8$)

Cokernel of the stable J-homomorphism at odd primes
There are some nice pictures on Alan Hatcher's webpage: math.cornell.edu/~hatcher/stemfigs/stems.html. In particular the bottom forms the image of the $J$ homomorphism, and you can see how large the coker J is!

Homotopy of localisations of colimits
The compact (what Hovey-Strickland call small) objects in the K(n)-local category are characterized in Corollary 12.16 of Hovey-Strickland

Are these two notions of "dualizable" spectra equivalent?
I don't know an example in spectra, but if you are willing to work in the $K(n)$-local category then I think the Morava $E$-theory spectrum is an example. Strickland has shown that $D(E_n) = F(E_n,L_{K(n)}S^0) = \Sigma^{-n^2}E_n$, which in turn can be used to show that the natural map $E_n \to D^2E_n$ is an equivalence. In the $K(n)$-local category $X$ dualisable is equivalent to $E^{\vee}_*(X):=\pi_*L_{K(n)}(E \wedge X)$ finitely generated. But I don't think $E^{\vee}_*(E) = \text{Hom}^c(\mathbb{G}_n,E_*)$ is finitely generated

origin of spectral sequences in algebraic topology
The AHSS is in fact a generalisation of the Leray-Serre SS: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

Why not a Roadmap for Homotopy Theory and Spectra?
@DavidWhite: I'll be back home by January!

Hey David, I think you mean mathoverflow.net/questions/18041/… for the second paragraph, right?

Is it possible to construct a formal group law from a Lie group without choosing coordinates?
Maybe the answer is to look at formal groups (as opposed to formal group laws)?

Toda brackets and factorisation of a sequence of spectra
@Mike-Doherty: Thanks, I'll have to read it more closely, but that looks very promising!
