Err, I feel compelled to point out that page is Oolite's current project page: it's a summary of what Oolite is about, and contains a lot of links, some of them relevant, some of them not that relevant...
For casual bystanders, and just about anybody else too, the best place to 'watch' Oolite 1.74 as it's being coded, is to look at the last 10 pages in the Screenshots & Progress threads on this very forum.
To actually
see & play what's being developed at the moment, you can grab the nightly buids(windows & linux only atm): again, their links are on this very forum, not on the berlios page.
Those nightly builds contain quite a lot of work-in-progress stuff, and might be broken in many interesting ways, but they're provided precisely to show first hand what's being worked on at the moment.
For not-so casual bystanders, the best thing to do would be to use an svn client.
The svn tab on the project page does provide info on how to grab the most up-to-date development code, and also features an interactive svn front end.
Here's the link to that page:
http://developer.berlios.de/svn/?group_id=3577
I'd expect a casual obsever to get either lost or bored very quickly by what's on SVN, though.
And before anyone asks: yes, the unified Oolite project ( for macs, linux and windows pcs ) is somewhat misleadingly called 'oolite-linux', and its numeric id is 3577 .
