is spring.net being actively maintained/developed/documented?

Question

In the course of evaluating .net IoC frameworks, I gave spring.net a try first, seeing as how much I liked spring in java. However, I'm rapidly getting the feeling that it is a stale/stalled/dead project. The forums have almost no activity; the documentation, though verbose, is infuriating with its self-referencing, poor examples, and incomplete sections; spring.net questions don't seem to get much traction on stackoverflow; and googling for spring.net issues usually leads to pages documenting somewhat obscure scenarios. I'm close to making the jump to Ninja or Castle, but I can see that their documentation doesn't exactly sparkle either. Still, if everyone has poor documentation, I'd rather pick an active project. What are your suggestions?

IMHO the documentation actually is OK; although I've also encountered minor errors in the example code in the documentation. – Inhabitancy

This is time-sensitive question. As of 21.03.2014 I see relatively low activity on their web site. But JIRA says that they planning to release 2.0 GA on 31.03.2014 - jira.spring.io/browse/SPRNET/fixforversion/12344/… – Leadership

@Tornn they definitely missed the due date :-) – Frear

Answer 1

Spring.NET is pretty active. Take a look to their bug tracking system : https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPRNET

They have 2 full-time committers working on it.

Spring is pretty active, as pointed out by Paul. Their IoC container is excellent, in my opinion. As I write this, they're actively working on a code-config project at github .
