That's not strictly true. Open source projects do sometimes die if nobody steps up to bat when the original developer decides not to continue it - SourceForge has many projects like this. In this particular instance mmCache is not dead (yet). The original developer has moved to work with Zend and is no longer able to work on mmCache. If you read the forums located here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=69426 you will see that there is much discussion on this topic. At this moment it looks like some people have said they will help with the continuing development, so there is hope for it yet. It is a fantastic cache and deserves to continue.
