Nothing that formal yet (unfortunately).  I think we'd hoped to have a solid set of patterns ready to coincide with the 3.0 release, but we don't have a list of what those are yet.  And at this stage, given available resources, I certainly wouldn't expect us to have anything that you might consider a usable replacement for the 2.x HIG in place until 3.2 at the earliest.

I've been tied up with other stuff for the past few weeks, but I'm hoping to turn my attention back to pattern/HIG stuff fairly imminently.

Cheeri,
Calum.
