How can I get more information about it? Great question, right now we are all in the same boat. A MapPane widget has been created and needs testing, I think they would like to release again on wednesday - I can build the code and attach the jar to a jira bug report or something for review? (or just email it to you).
I am afraid we do not really know any more. Once the MapPane thing works at all doing sanity checks on documentation would be good. I think Adrian and myself may may docs available either through the wiki or as a pdf depending. Just catching up with adrian yesterday it appears he is having fun documenting the details, I hope to paint a broader picture first, and then go into details as people like yourself have questions (I will point out that I do not have an understanding of all the details myself, just enough to get the job done - and every new job I learn a bit more).
