It does look like it's losing steam, although I feel like DNN as a whole has been losing steam lately. I've been wondering if it isn't a failure of the approach to open source, i.e. closed teams, no public source repository. It's their chosen model, but I've got some experience with other OSS projects, and when I got stalled, other people picked up where I stopped and ran with it.
If the team members get busy with other projects, the associated DNN work stalls, where in the more open model other people can pick up, submit patches to work in progress, etc.
For instance, I'd love to work on this, but my workload isn't going to ease up for another month or so. However, when I could work on it, I'd have no access to the current code that they were working on when they stalled.
