http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ is the main address.

Excerpt from the status page:
DRM:    Responsable for memory management, it allows 2d(DDX) and
        3d(DRI) drivers to coexist.
Status: Seems to work.
DDX:    2d driver
Status: Xv is now working. Both XAA and EXA(new 2d acceleration
        architecture) are working. Both AGP and PCI-E cards work now.
DRI:    3d driver
Status: Does not compile.

More info I got on irc.freenode.net#nouveau :
basically, nouveau is the "nv" driver, with some bits in the kernel,
and EXA..
