Quetzalcoatl?

Post by Harry Potter »

Whatever happened to Quetzalcoatl? Its last update was in 2006, and it excluded the early documentation and demos. It's a good idea, and I'd like to program on it.

That's what Brendan Jones posted 3 years ago in a response that his web site had vanished for a few hours:

Sorry for being unclear. I have the given version. However, it hasn't been update since 2006 and it lost its documentation and example files. I'm just wondering why it hasn't been updated recently. :)
