Is this project dead?

Hi, I see several severe issues on your main website and I got the impression that the project might be dead? Do you need help?
I got the impression that the project might be dead?
The project isn't dead, but development has shifted towards Adhocracy 3 (repo, docs). However this isn't ready for general consumption yet.
Adhocracy 2 (this repo) is mostly in bug-fixing mode. It's still in production in different places (e.g. currently here), so bugs are fixed if relevant, but new development occurs almost exclusively in Adhocracy 3 for about a year.
Do you need help?
Sure, help is always welcome. Adhocracy 3 development currently happens pretty much "behind closed doors" (or more concretely "in our office"), and we will need to spend some effort opening up the development and creating a community again. I'll expect that to happen in the next months.
Help with Adhocracy 2 is also welcome, e.g. bug fixes for things like #962.
Also feel free to engage with the (currently passive) mailing list adhocracy-dev, which is supposed to be the mailing list for the adhocracy development community and will also be used to announce new developments and how to engage.
Would you like to describe in a few short sentences what are the main differences between adhocracy 2 and the 3 version? Are there important changes in the model layer and backend that required a new repo? I am just reading into it, but of course a few introducing words could speed this process up.
Also it would be interesting to know what are your plans on supporting adhocracy 2? If I would like to use it for a project, which version should I use?
It would be great if you would like to consider to release an official roadmap and a deprecation policy, like e.g. the django project does, what would be a great help for all projects considering to use adhocracy.
