yes, since we migrated to git, the repository is on
http://git.dyne.org and can be cloned with:

git clone git://dyne.org/freej.git

you can be surely helpful in this phase of testing. right now most of
the new functionalities are implemented in javascript and mr.goil is
doing a major rewrite of the console code to be a javascript
programmable controller, it will take a while to be ready doe.

have a look at the scripts directory and the scripting documentation
on http://freej.dyne.org/docs/scripting/0.10 to get started, let us
now if you experiment, also a video of you and your friends bouncing
in front of the screen can be cheerful :) i had phun watching stuff
like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIJ3etcNW5s :D

right now with the scripting you can create quite some different
interactions between various phisical controllers (midi, joystick,
wiimote, sound) and a tutorial on how to start doing that is much
needed, the reference code and some example scripts are aavailable.

the wiki is on http://lab.dyne.org - it's heavily spammed but we do
our best to keep it clean and open.

thanks for your involvement, be welcome :)
