I think the future of Lenya depends if Lenya is meeting the demands of
people using Lenya, whereas I think the demands are:
- Usability
- Maintenance
- Integration
If Lenya will make ends meet on these three then I am sure the
development will continue and otherwise I am very sure it won't.

Wolfgang, as a user of Lenya 1.2.4 for almost 2 years now, I wouldn't
recommend that anyone start a new project with that old and buggy code
at this point. The 1.2.5 version is probably a little better (but I
haven't tried it).
As an outside observer, Lenya 1.4 seems pretty close to me (a very
small number of weeks?). A release candidate was proposed recently,
which is a good sign. Yes, it has taken a very long time, but many
open source projects take years to produce major new versions. Don't
bet your job on it being released by any particular date, but if you
don't need to make a decision right away, 1.4 may be worth the wait.
There are some very cool architectural changes in it, and major
improvements throughout. Meanwhile you can download the unreleased
1.4 trunk from SVN and give it a try -- always a good idea when
valuating any open source product.
