Is the stripes framework dead? Anyone using it?
I am a big fan of the http://www.stripesframework.org and using it heavily for my projects. However the project seems to be dead. It is not possible to register to the website anymore (no license) and I couldnt contact any of the administrators. Also the mailing-list is not available.
Is anyone aware of the status of the project?
It would be a pity if it was dead as I think it is one of the most elegant frameworks for java web development.

We're using the Stripes Framework on a large Java project. The Stripes project is actually very active. 1.5.4 should be out soon, and the mailing list is where most of the communication takes place.
The website is pretty old, but if the #1 failure of the framework is in marketing itself I don't think that's the worst thing that could be wrong with it. If you'd like to contribute by helping out with a site redesign the planning is going on now.
The mailing list is a great place for questions, and the irc channel #stripes on freenode is pretty active during business hours.
The framework does what it's intended to do very well. There is discussion on new features, but I think a lot of people are happily using it as it is.
Just to note we use Stripes with Spring for dependency injection it works very well.
