Why do you think that no one has been working on the software? Why is everyone so ridiculously short sighted and literal? Just because there are no employees of record does not mean that no one is working...contractors are not technically employees...this is the way of the new 'gig' economy, everyone is hiring contract work.
I believe there has been a lot of garbage thrown around, but I also believe it continues to be worked on and updated all the time. Prove it is not and Ian is still not around to do it.
