I can assure you that it is not dead You should also take a look at the bug tracker. There you can see a lot of activity.

But there are currently some issues about who is able to update the
website. So the website is like dead. That's a major issue, and we'll
try to improve it.

One general question about the GMF project - why is there so little documentation? it is VERY hard to understand such a complicated framework without good documentation. Is there any way to help? I would be willing to dedicate some of my time to documenting the project, but I haven't been able to understand it enough.
Thanks]]>Arieh Bibliowicz2011-12-16T12:36:06-00:00Re: Is the Tooling Project Dead?

There is a lot of documentation on the wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF
, including a tutorial on how to get started and lots of tips for
advanced customization.
There are also some books available about GMF.
Documentation cost time and money. If there is not enough documentation,
that simply means that there is not enough time and money spent in them.
It's up to contributors (individual and companies) to help in improving it.

It is very important that you define what "good" means here. What is
missing to the current documentation to make it good?

There are plenty ways on making GMF Tooling better. Feel free to choose
the one you prefer ;)

- there are three full time resources working on the topic since almost
half a year, and they are funded for the years to come
(I am sitting right now in their office in Prague, and none of them is dead)
- by recruiting these people partly from the original creators in
Borland/Together, it was possible to continue the MDA Architecture based
on QVTO, OCL, e.t.c. and extend with experience gained in the last
years, rather than "starting from scratch"
- while the current available releas for 3.7.1 is based on the status
about 1 year ago, the new major release will be ready in about 2 month
to test out for users. Or just check out the sources and play with them...
