seems so.
Development of csync2 has mainly been a one-man-show by Clifford Wolf.
He seems to be busy doing more interessting things right now.

I'm not actually in the position to officially announce it that way,
but I guess csync2 is more or less an orphaned project right now.

sure, we at LinBit do use it very frequently, and we will hack on it
every now and then when we find minor annoyances or real bugs.
we will check in security fixes if neccessary.
but from our side, I currently see no room for real development,
so it is maintenance only mode from here.

if anybody out there wants to do development:
step forward. its GPL. no need to fork it,
we are happy to get you svn access.
you should coordinate with Clifford, obviously,
but I think he won't have objections either...

cheers,
