KP,
Unknown. Leaf-user shows 459 members, so there are still people paying
some level of attention to leaf.

This is my fault. I haven't worked on marketing since we discontinued
our project domain (leaf-project.org). Nor have I updated our website.
* No listing on distrowatch.com
* Old website
* Haven't installed hook script for git commit mailing list
The cumulative effect of these problems may make our project look dead
to the casual observer.

Unfortunately, a GUI is expected by the majority of end users.
Examples:
LuCI

Unified Configuration Interface (UCI)

Agreed, but I switched to OpenWRT quite a few years ago. It just made
sense for my small home network. Routers like Netgear's WNDR3700v2 are
more than sufficient for lots of users.
