Trevor...

Like Dan W I personally have a large application in production today that's 
built on top of the latest MG code. I've worked on a few others in the last 
several months in a consulting role that are based on that code base as 
well and have not experienced any issues.  I'm helping Dan W this afternoon 
see if we can nail down the issue that he mentioned (and Brian responded 
about).

Dan W mentioned that we've moved things over to GitHub. We've not made that 
super public since we're still trying to clean up formatting on the 
documentation and get everything spic-n-span so if you're so inclined, we'd 
certainly welcome any help in that direction if you are so inclined. The 
documentation is there, but needs some formatting help as not everything 
came over correctly when we exported it from Trac. The documentation is a 
GitHub wiki so you're welcome to fork, edit and submit pull requests back 
to us. Let us know if you need any other information on that process.

Anyway, just wanted to add my 2c in that MG is still alive and in 
production even though some of us on the team have had some things come up 
over the last several months that have taken our time away from it.

Cheers!
Dan S
