Unfortunately the trend continues: Just to give you an idea of the activity in the past, and the rapid decline in 2010/2011:
Average messages sent to the laszlo-dev mailing list per month: 2007 233 messages 2008 525 messages 2009 285 messages 2010 Jan-Jun 125 messages 2010 Jul-Dec 108 messages 2011 Jan-Jun 54 messages If Laszlo continues to let OpenLaszlo decline with the current rate, the project is dead by 2012 latest. The only hope is that someone acquires Laszlo quickly. But who knows what new owner of the company would do with OpenLaszlo...
