I put in my 2p on the reasons in another post, but I think it's mainly a) that old .com website which makes the project feel a bit dead b) lack of regular advocacy (blog posts, release announcements) that hit the rails community (after all this is why you know about rails_admin...) c) mailing list which requires manual verification of new users (it was added to stop large amounts of spam which were coming through - perhaps there is a compromise solution though?) I think all of these are fixable though. As you say AS is a very stable chunk of code and largely I think we are in maintenance mode. I would like to see some improvements in some key internals to make it thread capable (no globals) and also to streamline the way we generate the templates to reduce memory usage (causes GC thrashing on my performance profiling), but largely I see new features being implemented through plugins and the core code becoming more plugin friendly as a result... I really hope we can hook Volker in to continue to maintain his rails3 branch, but under the AS repo rather than his own. I also don't want to chase him away since he's obviously only got limited time and faith in the continuation of this project? Fingers crossed.
