Word is getting out, but I really don't know where to point him other than the Symposium Proceedings?

Hi,
I attended a presentation by Matt Ettus, N2MJI, at the Palo Alto Amateur Radio Association's monthly meeting about the Advanced Communications Package. The project sounded very interesting and as I remember, Matt said that the ACP project's goal was to send up these amateur stations on commercial satellites in the geostationary orbit so that it eventually, someday, gives a trans-global reach for amateurs with portable/handheld radios. This was supposed to be an alternative to the Eagle project.
I got talking to a friend and fellow operator who used to be very interested in amateur satellite work and he was very interested in knowing more about ACP.
Is there a whitepaper, wiki or some kind of documentation briefly describing the project?
I looked at the AMSAT site and could not find much. Any pointers will be appreciated.
