Hi Mohit, Walter, To be honest, I delivered a new site on Radiant only last month... For some projects, it's a risk I'm still willing to take. There's also a dozen or so older Radiant sites of mine still online, and so far none of them have been hacked.
I had this new year's resolution for 2019 to work on Radiant every friday, needless to say it didn't quite work out like that yet. I have a 6 weeks old baby now, so my time for Radiant will stay limited for another while. Last I checked: The master branch has been reverted to the commit right before we started breaking things in order to try and convert into an engine for Rails 4. The work that was in master until a few months ago is now in the previous_rails_upgrade_attempt branch. This actually looked viable again the last time I looked at it. That is to say, it booted and I could get to the backend, but it didn't load extensions e.g., Radiant::Config is broken, etc. There's still hundreds of failing tests, but most are all due to a handful of issues I think. Then there's also my own stab at rewriting radiant from scratch that might be of interest: github.com/jomz/radiant-rewrite If you are interested in furthering development in Radiant or discussing it, I think the best place now would be the Slack channel. There's still some people from the old days there, wánting to help at the least. I think it's invite-only so let me know where to send an invite, and I will gladly let you in!
