Hi Wayne,
The spaces project is on hold for the following reasons:
- Xdrive service from AOL is defunct
- Publishing of update sites is no longer interesting - the need is to
publish p2 sites
- p2 and PDE are undergoing lots of change in the 3.5 timeframe - it
has not been meaningful to work on spaces at the same time.
The vision of the spaces project is that it should be very simply to
publish from the IDE. This is still valid.
In a way, there is lots of activity in spaces :) , as it is built on
buckminster, and buckminster builds on p2 and PDE.
Once 3.5 is out the door, there is going to be a planning session for
p2 and PDE, as well as buckminster - the outcome of those will tell if
it is meaningful to keep the spaces project, or if it gets moved into
something else.
The recent commits were just housekeeping - enforcing a code layout
standard.
There is some pretty neat stuff in spaces:
- ui for publishing an update site (built from source) to a space
(i.e. a remote location)
- a mechanism to address such a remote location
- a publishing layer on top of Eclipse File System
- an EFS implementation for Xdrive
- a Json implementation used by the Xdrive client
Once revived, we hope to interest new/other storage providers (forges)
to create back ends for their services (I can think of source forge,
google, amazon for instance, as well as some other).
I hope that satisfies your curiosity :)

relatively recent commits, but I see no recent activity on the
