That would be great. Please e-mail Alan directly with requests for
setting you up, but we will produce a summary document to let other
interested parties know.
Please note for use to distribute the updated documents you will have
to sign a Contributor License Agreement - hope that is ok.

Some improvements as mentioned by Alan but there will still be issues,
this version of the Platform is a beta and our move to OSGi will be
the Platform which comes with support, please note we are trying to
reduce the changes in the API to a minimum so hopefully the majority
of any documentation should still be applicable.

Not sure what you mean, could you let us know about the context of the
discussions and what you were planning.
