It has not had a release in over a year.  In my book, that makes it a 
dead project.

OTOH Joomla 1.7 is sooooo close to a terrific system... a LOT of 'under 
the hood' features have been added that I can see from the direction 
their going things may well improve significantly in 1.8.   The number 
of new features making itself into core have jumped astronomically since 
moving to github.  It makes it so much easier to suggest and add a 
feature to Joomla - you implement it in your own branch and submit a 
pull request.  No creating patch files, importing, exporting, and such.

The CMS itself really needs to get onto the same version control platform.
