Probably I didn't explain it well either.

Not documentation but whatever thoughts, emails, plans there are.

No.

So does that mean that the new version is not actively been worked on?
What I had hoped for was to join the analysis phase of the new version and
be involved in the planning.

Of course.

Agree.

I think we had a communication problem. I totally agree with your stance
on access to CVS. However, I was not referring to that.

I don't particularly want/care about CVS access. If I have something to
contribute I will post it on the list or on a web page. If and when I
produce so much code that it is too much work for others to commit it then
I will probably be given CVS access whether I want it or not. :-)

I guess I should join the development list.
How about creating a statement of what is desired of a new version?
