They forked Synapse and continued development on their fork. It looks like they are now submitting some of these changes back to Apache Synapse; at least that's what I got from looking at some of the recently submitted patches. Part of the problem of the Apache Synapse problem has always been that the project is too dependent on contributors of a single organization. It would be great to see you contribute actively to the project in order to get more diversity. > Or are there more organizations using Synapse? > > What can be done to revive the project and keep it alive?
