We do have some junit tests that run nightly.   More are needed.  All 
documents related to kepler can be found in our kepler-docs cvs 
repository accessible here:

Kepler is released under the BSD opensource license.  The rights to each 
individual source file are those of their author.  You can find a 
copyright notice at the top of each source file that describes this.

We don't currently have a road map document that I know of.  We are 
planning to release Kepler 1.0 sometime this spring, however.

Hope that helps,
