Hi Benjamin.

You'll need experience with previous versions of gvSIG in order to work directly to the SVN. I'm preparing those notes right now.

Can you send us a brief summary of those problems you experienced? I'm not talking about lacking features but real bugs or inappropriate behaviors.

Yes, there will be alpha and rc releases as previous versions in order to have feedback of testers and get a more stable version of gvSIG.

Please contact with Mario Carrera (he reads this list of course) as he is the translations coordinator. He will give you more details about how to join a translation group. Thanks!!

Perfect, I think this is the natural approach. As Miguel said, we have a repository catalog where you can publish your plugins. I hope soon we will have some new contributions that will be of interest for the community (of developers and users).
