Picora is dead?
I hope Picora still survive. But you are right : there is no change in the documentation and in the code correction for mouths. And the community is not active at all.
A way more collaborative of the development of Picora would help it to become the reference in micro frameworks. If we could help Ryan to write documentation, I think this would be written quickly with a lot of useful examples.

I wrote Ryan a couple of mails, but he didn't answer me :( What's happened to him?

Same things that happens to all websites - they launch with a bang and when the initial acclaim dies down, the person behind the site moves on to other things... usually leaving behind a whole bunch of disappointed people who got excited too quickly.
I have questions in these forums that remain unanswered after an entire month, and several repeats. One of the most often neglected aspects of success is consistency... a lot of people can BOOM! their way out of the gate, but very few can maintain a consistent presence.
Stu Nicholls still seems to be alive and present, for whatever that's worth to anyone. So are Project Seven. Google them, you may have better luck. Ryan seems bored and uninspired lately, which is a shame because he's a great talent and a lot of people had rallied around him.

I will completely admit that I have neglected the site for the last 60 days or so. I just don't have the time to keep things going at the moment, for reasons that I can't fully disclose. I can say that my new employer has acquired LivePipe, and that things are going to be slow for another month or so, but I do intend to turn Picora, and a lot of currently unreleased software over to some very competent hands.
For the time being, and until a formal announcement is made, I'm afraid I'm the furthest thing from bored and uninterested, but the net effect is still that I don't have time to participate.
Unfortunately I couldn't agree more with you jyeager. Launching something and staying present and consistent is HARD. Much harder than writing good software. And it's not something I have been good at.
In the near future I intend to open up a lot more software, and get some systems, people and collaborative software / version control, etc in place to give my projects the potential to grow, and I will definitely involve the community in that at that time.
As for the email stuff, it's fixed. I get about 1000 spam messages per day (and that's what gets through the filter), so please use the new contact form to get ahold of me. If anyone is explicitly interested in taking over some responsibility for Picora in the near future raise your hand now!
Also, as a second response for the whole bored bit (sorry, can't help myself) everyone will get to see what I do for my day job on January 16th.
