I doubt we’ll see any kind of stability from this unless:

a) we roll our own fork and assume maintenance over this project as an OpenNIC community project; the biggest issue here is to find people skilled enough to keep this project alive, even on life support (implement security patches for holes discovered and disclosed to us)

b) we somehow lobby to make this part of the DNS protocol itself (part of the RFC) and therefore see these implemented as part of stock DNS server implementations (bind, powerdns, etc)

It looks like the new site was an exiting dns-over-tls product, that has now acquired the dnscrypt.org domain. Sort of like if Pepsi went out of business so Coca Cola bought pepsi.com. 

It's definitely something to keep an eye on, but I find their own comparison article of dns-over-tls to dnscrypt quite vapid. There is little documentation on setup from a server perspective and things that they criticise dnscrypt for (a client app on the server machine and companion software on the server) are what they recommend for dns-over-tls via the "Stubby" resolver and nginx reverse proxies.

Looks like an old fork.

It’s hard to believe there were no other forks of this repo on github.

Probably grab the zips and see if there is an open license.  If so,
then would likely be a good idea to put it back up to github as an open
mirror.  If there isn't indication that the original project doesn't
resurface again, then hopefully someone can pick it up for further
development.
