    Is this project still alive? As someone who is both using it and is a software developer, I'd like to help it move forward, but the project lead isn't responding to requests to participate, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of activity. Does anyone know if someone else is running it and/or working on it?

    Kevin.

    There are some people still working on it and there are a few clients supporting it as a backend.
    the project may be revitalized with the Virtaal project

    there are some basic issues not covered in the install notes:
    see this thread
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/tinytm/forums/forum/789818/topic/2088365?message=8026353

    there are some significant performance issues if you are dealing with large volumes of short segments
    this can be remedied by modifying the "tinytm_get_fuzzy_matches" function
    if you truncate the searched records (search within records of a similar length) your searches will be much more efficient

    there is no provisioning for a review process but could be easily extended to do so
    user/groups ACL within the API is not completely defined
    there are no constraints on the segments table so create some or have a "garbage collection" strategy

    its a very good start but the project needs community support
