Is FlatBuffers still maintained?

[Kenneth Kasajian]

I am considering using a library such as FlatBuffers.   It's difficult to tell from just browsing the Internet as to which libraries are maintained and which are abandoned.   One indicator I look for is whether the various sites for the technology are kept up to date.   When I go to the https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/ main page and click on the item on the bottom of the page titled:

• FlatBuffers Google Group

I get a link that doesn't work.   It takes me to a scary place:

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL /group/flatbuffers was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

The group link looks broken it's 

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/flatbuffers

Oh and yes, it's maintained.

Odd, that groups link had been fixed before, somehow regressed.

It's fixed again now: https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/

I'd say the best way to see whether a project is still maintained is by looking at the amount of commits in the last few months, and by that measure FlatBuffers is very active :)
