Forget what I said, recently saw the confusion about Disney/CMU being active devs, apologize for not seen him before. I understand a little better what is happening. For my the first impression was may be not a dead project but a zombie project 
Anyway I will give a second shot, after all, I’m just starting… as the last recommendation, update the information, show better pictures, show the updates/changes, the dates, collect all contributions in one page, like the editor, the terrain and the other stuff like C++ example and must also focus on C++ not for nothing says Panda3D is C++ and Python. I don’t mind the page look good (Is important) but if anyone enter and look good screenshot, documentation, things updated, good example, the impression will be another…
Will contribute in any way…
Cheers,
John
