Welcome to the community!
As I understand it the team is working right now on a straight port
of the CMS from ACS 4.x Tcl. In general, you can look check out a
(more-or-less) weekly progress report on OpenACS porting
here:
https://openacs.org/new-file-storage/one-file?file_id=77
Once the straight port is complete, the team will look at
improving the package. Two high priorities are fixing the UI
(which is pretty horrific) and making CMS subsite-aware.
Perhaps Dan Wickstrom or Roberto Mello (the two package
owners) will be able to give you more detailed info about their
progress. In fact, if you're serious about contributing you should
email them directly and offer to help.
