Website gives the impression the project is dead.

Last news is from 2010, and the switch to git is not reflected (documentation points to fossil installation and so on), part of the links in «what's built with lamson» list are dead, only the redirection from support.lamson.org gets you there to learn the project is indeed not dead.

Is the website hard to update, is Zed too busy with other things? Are contribution in this area needed (no promise i would, but good to know) or are there other things preventing the project to thrive?

Jep, it appears so. As it sais in the redirect form support.lamsonproject.org: Pull requests accepted, although I am overloaded a bit so may be slow

I'm a newcomer to Lamson and I was just going to report that issue. I came here to look if the project is dead and the change log on git was last updated 3 years ago. The website has last news from 2010 too. Yet there's a version on March in the cheese shop. Where should one look for some kind of change log?

@gjedeer it is hard to tell how you managed to miss all the latest commits in the log.

[gjedeer]

It's pretty easy to miss.

@gjedeer Ah, that one. Then hard to argue :) I am sure if someone wants to take care of the project while @zedshaw is working hard somewhere, that person could get collaborator rights for the repo. Otherwise, I would just look around in the network and merge valuable commits into my fork.
