SciDB is going to open up to the public both its source code and documentation as soon as this June (late June). On behalf of the SciDB team: apologies for not responding rapidly to all volunteers - the interest is (almost!) overwhelming. We will be getting back to all volunteers who contacted us over the next few weeks.

It's supposed to be open-source, but the source code is not available. To volunteer or see the source, you have to email them. I did, noting that I'm an physicist with a database startup and I'd like to help, but they didn't even bother to respond. They're already talking about commercializing it (the open-source project), but as of now it's not even out!
I'm not sure who the "SciDB Community" in the letter on their site's frontpage actually refers to.
