It's definitely not abandonware. I wouldn't necessarily even say it lacks a maintainer. A number of people have stepped up to do minor maintenance, and if major needs cropped up, I'd sit down and do the work.

We keep it working with the latest release of Sword and do releases with every utilities release for Win32. (Linux users get it via packages, and those are also up to date.)

I take David's point on the need for updating the webpage, though. It remains the only way to learn about some of the more exotic derivatives of diatheke (like the OCX).

That web-page needs considerably updating. The latest news on it is over
NINE YEARS old. !!!!!

Even the http://crosswire.org/wiki/Frontends:Diatheke wiki page is
somewhat outdated, referring as it does to version 4.0.

That too requires attention.

Please would someone volunteer to "do the honours".
