Yes, project is still alive. But only 2 developers and a lack of time slowed down development. We still develop and are sure that we can publish a first beta in 3rd quarter 2011.
Project is going on, at the moment we write our "platform" for a threaded, multidoc container using as much as possible other open source libs :-)
Due a heavy lack of time this project could not get the expected state as we wished to this point of time. Nevertheless we are back now and have started a brandnew development part. So in summer 2010 we expect to have a first stable version out.
As soon as possible we will publish a roadmap with our further development plans
