The project isn't dead. We stopped developing it as Mozilla had not 
started on WF2. That has now changed [1] and we will soon restart 
development.

There is no intention to support Gecko, it is an IE only implementation.

Although it is not production ready, it is pretty close. By all means 
download and play with it. Let me know if you find any bugs!
