We are far from dead, and we won't leave anytime soon. Things are in
motion to improve the current state of Lunar. New ISO, improve
documentation, improve functionality etc. We are a small crew and most
of us work on Lunar in our spare time.

Help is always appreciated. We try to encourage our userbase to assist
us either writing new modules, updating modules or writing
documentation.

Not at all. Please join us on IRC, channel #lunar on freenode.org. Most
of the developers are active there.
