What’s up with the Fontmatrix project?

I’m quite fond of Fontmatrix, but it seems to be “dead” – at least the site of the project is down. Does anyone have information about that, or a possible fork that I should start to use etc.?

Answer

In short, what happened is that Pierre had to take other responsibilities, and since he was pretty much the only person who wrote code, the work on the project stopped.

It looks like I’m the only Fontmatrix team member left, so I took responsibility to move the development to Github:

https://github.com/fontmatrix/fontmatrix

There’s not much happening right now, as I have very little development skills. We’ll see what happens next.

There are still some things to do before a new release can happen: finalizing the UI update, fixing opentype shaping bugs etc.
