Hi Martin,

Thanks a lot for your interest in dSS and digitalSTROM.

I'll try to convince some hardware / communication people to join this 
list, but it's probably a good idea to forward these questions to 
info(at)digitalstrom(dot)org at this point in time, since they're more 
related to digitalSTROM in general and not so much to the digitalSTROM 
server (dSS) or its development.

If you don't hear back, feel free to contact me again.

At this point in time, digitalSTROM alliance members get a demonstration 
set when they join.

A development kit is currently being developed, but not finalized yet. 
Again, info(at)digitalstrom(dot)org is probably a good place to start.

For the dSS, there's mainly three sources of documentations:
1. the wiki in redmine
   http://developer.digitalstrom.org/redmine/wiki/dss

2. API documentation
   http://developer.digitalstrom.org/releases/dss-0.7.6-doc/

3. the source code

That's great to hear!
