Earlier conceptualisations:

There is a demo server on which you can try out some of the functionality that is intended for Sakai 3 yourself, such as early, prototype work on content authoring, social networking, internal messaging, instant messaging, an improved user experience, etc. (Note: that this is only a demo server, and represents a work in progress. It will be updated with the latest milestone on the Sakai 3 Roadmap. Expect the functionality, capabilities, and user experience to evolve significantly as work on Sakai 3 progresses. As such the server is reloaded from time to time and data stored on it will not persist.)
There is a Nightly build server that runs the latest front-end and back-end code. This is the server that provides the latest state of the development. However, because it's on the bleeding edge, it might be unstable from time to time.
There is also the Sakai 2-3 Hybrid demo server that demonstrates the Sakai 2-3 hybrid mode functionality and will be fairly stable.

In the context of the proposed Sakai Community Development Process the following efforts are taking place to build Sakai 3:

A User Reference Group (URG) ensures direct community involvement in the design and development of Sakai 3. The URG develops mini-specs to capture requirements as part of the Design Process.
Sakai 3 Design - A reconsideration of the metaphors on which the Sakai User Experience (UX) is based, as well as a modernization of the user interfaces to take leverage evolving web capabilities.
Nakamura - An evolutionary re-thinking of the underlying framework for Sakai.
Sakai 3 UI Development - Part of the project that is tasked with created the Sakai 3 User Interface which is aimed at using more modern UI technologies and making the UI more modular.
Requirements Tracker - Tracking and gathering requirements from all stakeholders.

Sakai 3 accessibility statement
Library & Sakai 3 Integration Project - Research and design around why and how instructors use "learning content" (both library and non-library resources) for teaching and learning. Important implications for content gathering, management and sharing in Sakai 3.
Learning Activities - research and design around how users create, manage, deploy, take and evaluate learning activities (tests, papers, discussions)
Sakai 2-3 Migration - thinking and development around various strategies for migrating from Sakai 2 to Sakai 3
Assessment
Portfolio - Sign up to participate in an August 2010 Portfolio in Sakai 3.0 Virtual Visioning Meeting
