At present WeVouchFor is a zombie project. It's definitely not dead, lots of people are signing up. It's also definitely not alive, no one is actively working on it.
People are signing up because there's a definite need. Recently one more "rip off" certification was announced to the world, and once more the people in the agile community who are sincere agents of change responded to that by offering alternatives - and specifically by pointing to WeVouchFor. This blip in the project's popularity is both encouraging to me, because it suggests that the idea of "peer certification" may be workable, and a little embarrassing - because I have more or less abandoned the project. I'm wondering how to revive it, or what to do about it generally.
