It's not dead but I haven't had time to work on it much in the last two months. It is difficult to try to program something that requires intricate testing in 2-3 hour bursts between work and life. I'm going to try to refocus for the next month or two to get the protocol up to an alpha testing ready stage and then set up the forum and wiki to get some details and discussion going. It is still going to be a ways out from that though.
