Not dead. Ton is finishing the update of the beginners manual (after that
it can be translated to other languages). Concerning interface
documentation, we want to do that in xml, so there i need some decent xml
support in the core first. Ths basics are already there, but as a testcase
i implement mathml, which in turn demands manuals and examples (halfway
done). [for those interested: i make the manual in good old tex code while
all math is entered as mathml, so one can mix tex and xml, and so far the
math comes out quite well].  

My rough schedule for the next couple of months is (goes in parallel with
some projects that need it): 

- basic xml support + mathml 
- named glyphs and unicode (needed for central european pdf, chinese and
omega farsi etc) 
- multiple otr support combined with dtp like column/float handling 
- additional font support

also on the todo list: 

- computer language typesetting (for bzyl) 
- more metafun 
- some styles 
- more documentation
- texwork cum suis
