I'm using redboot - I didn't have time to try
other options, sorry.

Don't know about the status, maybe the people involved
can answer your question:

Feel free to send me content or fixes for things that bother you,
but maintaining the homepage isn't a #1 priority for me. Priority
#1 is is getting things in mainline, and apart from being 4 weeks behind
mainline right now, I'm also full with work in my day job atm.

The level of activity can be judged best by watching the git tree.

Here's a quick overview of what you'll see:
I didn't have time to merge with 2.6.16 right now, and as Lennert
already got base support for his ep93xx boards in mainline, I don't
expect this task to be trivial. Hope we can make some progress before
2.6.17 comes out, though.
Afterwards, we can continue with getting (device) drivers in shape for
mainline, one by one.
