The project is far from dead, among other things the website has been updated, a new partnership with www.nodeshare.in, a new trading bot called renobot... the list goes on... and its growing. If you want up to date information slack or the website is usually a good bet. I lurk her a little bit but to be honest don't spend a lot of time on Bitcointalk so pardon if the team doesn't get back to all of you right away...
