Re: [mochikit] Is MochiKit Dead?
Not Dead: Feature Complete. Since this issue comes up every year or so, I think there should be a simple explanation on the website homepage, something like: MochiKit is considered feature complete at version 1.4, and is therefore not in active development. It simply does what we have needed it to do for quite a few years so we haven't bothered to make any major changes to it.

Re: [mochikit] Is MochiKit Dead?
Agreed. Nowadays I'm also in maintenance-only-mode with respect to MochiKit. Meaning that I'll only address critical bugs or merge well-documented tested patches. The MochiKit.Text module and version 1.5 won't progress further unless someone else steps up to do the work. That said, I'm still using MochiKit where it makes sense. Preferably in conjunction with jQuery. Would be nice to eventually package up MochiKit into separate pieces that glue better into jQuery in some ways. But the custom packaging solution we have right now also allows to strip out some obvious duplicated stuff...

So, given that: * There hasn't been a blog post on the website in ... ever (according to the front of the site; in reality there was a post back in 2008) * There hasn't been a release since 2008 * This mailing list gets a post (with no response) once every other month or so, if that * MochiKit is less popular than random frameworks I've never heard of (xajax? what's that?) by a factor of six (http://www.readwriteweb.com/ hack/2011/08/javascript-framework-popularit.php) it really seems like MochiKit is a dead project, or at best a zombie project.
