Thor and WhiteDragon are touching up the custom systems. Hopefully, somebody could add more detail to that. The rest of the developers are converting/making levels. Master Storm is doing his own thing somewhere.

This is pretty much true, we have made alot of progress with HD/Recoil/Interface/HP Display among other support systems, they're all working pretty much the same way Default systems do, they may not be totally exact but we have measured Default values in game and applied the same values/times to Custom systems, this is all perfectly useable and working well but there is still alot more work to do towards general movement, this does however mean that visible content progress will be limitted.
Having said that something I have created and have been adding to over the last month is a public install package, accessable by clicking "Start", and then "Install Packages" in game called "Editor NPCs".
Downloading this package will create a list of script examples within Pre Defined NPCs the next time you open the Editor.
These are pretty much just joining the appropriate classes in use on the server, and setting the necessary variables for customisation.
Ofcourse this is useless offline, but it's still something which be a useful addition in future.
It is planned for all Quest resources/Baddies/Level resources etc to be included within the install package aswell as documented.
This is something which can give both players and new Developers alike a good idea of how to make stuff on the server, whether it be touching up a player house with a few neat effect scripts you wouldn't otherwise have the knowledge to make or attempting something intended to provide gameplay as side content.
