We're trying to wrap 3.3 up, see the "3.3.0 plans" thread.
As Matt says, the dev list is where the action's at for core SA. we don't really use the wiki for "live" development discussion; we use it more as a storage for FAQ info. We could always do with more help, too. In particular we need rule developers willing to commit their rules to SVN, test them using the ruleqa system, and use that to come up with new and cool high-accuracy, low-FP rules for the core ruleset ;) --j.
