Everyone is going to have to be patient with ANI.
My suggestion would be to set a reminder to check out ANI for maybe six months time and forget about it until then.
I have spoken to Adrian about it and while ANI is far from dead, he has decided to discontinue public development for now. In time, the latest codebase will be made available to everybody again, but for now, don't expect to see any updates on the google code project page or this mailing list. At least, thats the impression I got - I'm not an authorative figure or anything.
I know its meaningless at this stage, but fwiw, what I've seen and heard from private discussions with Adrian is cool enough that I'm still optimistic about ANI, despite the zombie state of the google project page.
