There's a specification at http://www.debian.org/~wakkerma/config6 and an anonymous CVS archive described at, erm, http://www.kitenet.net/programs/sshcvs/_index.html . It's at the point where it demo-able, but I wouldn't recommend plugging a scanner into it, so to speak. There are line, ncurses (dialog), gtk and web based frontends atm.
