I've spoken with both Tabali as well as Bitforesters (one of the developers) as of a few days ago and there is indeed progress being made.
The old developers are back in active development, but Tabali has taken over the PR role.

Sweet! So Tabali, what can we do now? You have a few of us here and I bet quite a few lurkers. So Lets get the community rolling again!
I have a faucet I payed for and I think the 1mo hosting is about to expire, I don't have any btc to pay for the .08btc hosting right now. Maybe we can get some donations to keep it up, and then start promoting again with links to the faucet. looks like there is still 1400mast in it http://mastcoin.altcoinfaucet.net/ http://mastcoin.altcoinfaucet.net/stats/

I think we need to come up with an acronym for MAST that everyone agrees on.

I thought Mixed Anonymous Secure Transactions

In essence, the acronym could serve as an easy way to explain why MAST is set apart from other coins, and in addition, give meaning to the name as someone had pointed out earlier. I don't want to be the final say on this, so please everyone voice your opinions!

I believe if we give "MAST" some meaning, moving forward as a community will be much easier.

I think that works quite well.

On the other hand, the benefits of remaining somewhat vague is that we aren't limited by the types of features we can integrate in the future without being concerned about affecting the existing branding. We have to ensure that the name can accommodate for additional features that fall outside the bounds of that acronym. If we intend to remain as a coin that specifically focuses on anonymous and secure transactions, then I believe that would work rather well. However, it may be better to find some sort of compromise, but I'm not sure that can be found.

I do believe we should have some sort of acronym, however. It only hurts us from a marketing point of view if the name and branding is completely divorced from the coin's feature set.
