There have been 30 contributors to this project.
The core team seems to have stayed fairly up until recently.
Cory Boyd is the lead developer for this project.
All participation ended for almost 6 months, and is only just now starting to pick back up.
The project would most likely survive but wouldn't be updated for awhile if Cory were eaten by a raptor, or if the core team was hit by a bus.
There doesn't seem to be any straight on-boarding process.
The project has some documentation but nothing to help a newbie jump in.
Currently it is ruled by a pair of individuals, David Rappo and Warren Konkel.
