Not as far as I know. But there are bits and bytes of information scattered
all over the net. I suggest you follow this mailing list, the source code
repository RSS feed, and this wave:

current purpose is not to provide a scalable, production-ready package
(AFAIK). If it happens to be, then it's just a coincidence, and you should
not rely on that :-). At the moment, there are no deadlines defined for that
either, although there was a discussion about deciding some set of goals for
a near release.

There was work on persistence based on mongoDB, and now work has shifted
towards filesystem-based persistence. I think that both work quite reliably,
but db or fs schemas may change, and so it's possible that waves can be lost
in the future... or maybe not :-)

There's still work to do before it can be used by "the public", but it's
pretty easy to tinker with it in its current state if you accept that it's
still missing many features and that you may find bugs.
