It's been a year since Google posted this update[1] on their end-to-end project and a month since the last commit.[2]

Yahoo announced a forked end-to-end extension in March[3] and while commits have been more frequent[4], they haven't released either.

Does anyone have any update on these?

After raising over $70,000 from the community in October 2013, progress on the TrueCrypt audit has been fitful at best. The last update on http://istruecryptauditedyet.com was April 14, 2014.

Two key contributors, Matthew Green (https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green) and Kenn White (https://twitter.com/kennwhite) remain active on Twitter.

I am aware of VeraCrypt and CipherShed but these appear orthogonal to the original audit.

Does anyone know what the heck is going on?

Google's OpenPGP-based End-to-End project was kicked off with considerable fanfare in June:

Following a period of steady development, progress seemed to grind to a halt. There has not been a commit since October 6:

About 90 minutes ago, the wiki was edited to replace issue reporting links with a generic 'Under Construction - Please hold on!' message.

Does anyone know what's going on?
