Not really stopped, rather dormant. The main reasons are: - Context moves so much, and my system is so screwed up, that I cannot update to a recent context release. - There are very few users interested by dbcontext and then few bug reports or update demands. - There are some big fishes asking for latex solutions (gimp, kde docs). - Few users are ready to switch from latex to context, at least because of install troubles and dependencies. - I can hardly convince people to use context if the context version suggested in the release note is not available from context site (it was before the foundry museum).
I still think context overclasses latex, but its systematic refactoring and use of emergent/latest software have their drawbacks, for end users, but for tools depending on it too.
But I believe that with the new context versioning scheme, the debian and Peter Munster packaging efforts, it can become more popular. Of course, I need to update my machine too ;-)
