I am still using siteManager for the same reasons I used it in 2003: it's a well-documented and productive framework.
With framework, I don't mean content management, blog or portal application, but a set of building blocks I can build maintainable webbased (database) applications with...
It _is_ however very quiet around it... which is due to users like me, who should use the mailing list more or blog about how we use it?
I still use it a lot. And for large projects too. We have added filters, custom form entities, and a few other little bits to individual projects over time.
You are right though. We do not get involved in the forums or mailing list anywhere near enough. actually, it seems the mailing list has not been used at all since December 2004.
Perhaps if we got a band of developers together we could keep the project alive and well. Or branch it off to build a well maintained portal development environment that keeps up with our needs.
Roadsend seem to be focusing on their compiler and other areas. Their web site has no forums posts at all for siteManager. I guess they are not interested in future development or perhaps they did not get enough help from us, the developer community.

That depends on what you call dead...
