The first step in the building of a spacetime solution of Einstein's gravitational field equations via the initial value formulation is finding a solution of the Einstein constraint equations. We recall the conformal method for constructing solutions of the constraints and we recall what it tells us about the parameterization of the space of such solutions. One would like to know how to construct solutions which model particular physical phenomena. One useful step towards this goal is learning how to glue together known solutions of the constraint equations. We discuss recent results concerning such gluing.
