IMHO, less activity in a project does not imply its death. I have open source projects that I hardly touched for over a year and they work in production as usual, without issues. I don't touch them simply because they already do whatever I need them to do (and this apparently also applies to their users). Sure there's always ideas for cool new features and room for improvements (sometimes we're even tempted to rewrite the whole thing), but this takes time and effort. Time that can be used to (for example) deliver actual business value.
Compare to your workplace. At least where I work, there's quite a few systems in production. Some of them don't get any changes in months, which is actually a good thing, because it means they're doing what they're supposed to do, which means that programmers can focus on changes that are strategically important or deliver immediate business value. Not everything has to change all the time. About NHibernate in particular, Ohloh's analysis ( https://www.ohloh.net/p/nhibernate ) says that it has stable year-over-year commits, so it's objectively not true that its activity is decreasing. The last commit was seven days ago. Last release: two months ago. Also take a look at the graph of contributors per month. There's quite a bit of activity in this google group and in Stackoverflow. The NHibernate JIRA ( https://nhibernate.jira.com/browse/NH ) shows many issues resolved in the last month and a lot of activity in the last few days. May I ask what metrics or criteria you are using that led you to think that NHibernate is dead?
